Hi all,

I am new here, obviously. Below are the specs for my Corvette. I am always looking for interesting websites, catalogs, and just all around things that have to do with Corvettes. Please make suggestions. Thanks much.

2004
Electric Blue
Convertible, tan on blue
total miles 5,940
Winner 3 times Best of Show National Corvette Association
Bored and ported
Aggressive Cam
Performance clutch
Corsa Exhaust
Diablo program with Dyno
New HP rating 625
New Torque rating 650

I have inherited this from my father whom passed away at a very young age of 56. I plan to ensure the car is maintained with the same level of perfection that he used. Thanks.

First let me say how very sorry to hear your father passed away and at such a young age.

Welcome to the forum and it's great that you have the car that meant so much to him and your going to carry on as he would. I know that would make him very happy.
