Default Hello All

Hey,

I just purchased my first Corvette --actually, my first Chev, my first V8, my first 300 hp car -- the list goes on. Anyway, it's a 92 six speed. I can't quite tell why it's a coupe, when it has a removable targa (I suppose I'll learn).

I'm an avid autocrosser, and an active participant in HPDE events. I currently own a Mazda Miata, and I am building a Miata-based Super 7 (Locost) with a friend. The Corvette is a real departure for me, but after driving and autocrossing a friend's 87 I knew I needed to add a C4 to my stable.

I tend to hang out mostly at the Grassroots Motorsports forum, but this one, too seems to have a wealth of information. I'll look forward to contributing to this community, too.
