Hi all. This is my 1st visit to corvette forum. I have a problem with my abs/traction system that lead me here. Just had my 98 vette convertible, which I bought new, diagnosed at my local GM dealership. They basically told me I'm screwed, that the parts aren't available, even aftermarket. How can this happen when these are critical safety features. I need to know what my options are.
