Oh no another new guy
Just wanted to say Hello. I don't have a vette yet but am doing research to buy one. I am hoping by next summer to have a C5 sitting in my driveway. Right now I am driving a 98 M3 sedan auto which I plan to keep as a DD. This way I can have a manual vette for my play thing. So I will be here reading a lot and making my want list for a car and eventual upgrade path. I am a best bang for the buck sort of guy and trying to upgrade a M3 is just to expensive for what you get in return. It is fun to drive through the twisty though, I just want more power.
In the past I have owned 6 camaros, a 454 chevelle and a few other playtoys. But I have never owned a corvette.
