Hey all, first time corvette owner. Bought it March of last year, just finally getting around to making my introduction.

I've always loved and respected corvettes as arguably the best sports car for the money. Finally got around to getting one after I got sick and tired of the high price maintenance of my previous audi. Somewhat contemplating getting rid of her and my beater to simplify things down to one car and get a cts-v. Don't know if I can get rid of the vette though.

If I do keep it I really would love to get back into HSAX later this year or little later down the road. I used to race a few years back with my boss who coincidentally had a C5Z. All stock minus slicks but always pulled the best lap times for his class. Should have stuck with it but got distracted with motorcycles. Also have a set of Z06 replicas and an LS6 IM. Would love to lower it down some and get those wheels on. Currently has a corsa exhaust and blackwing intake.

Anywho, here's some pictures:





And I can't not share my other baby
