Thanks for the "welcome", William. I'm learning a lot. For example, I was convinced that I needed to relocate my MAT sensor on my LT1, until I researched it in your forums. Now I believe it would be a waste of time and money. I appreciate the knowledge base here.

Well the snow is still here and 7 degrees.....My new vette's 100 miles away tucked away in a pole barn waiting for me to register it and drive it home, but I have 100 miles of salt and snow to disappear before that can happen. Thanks for the welcome, DreamCar

Good luck....It's all about how much money you've got to play with and use your computer to research and shop. I sat at my computer for 2 days looking at Corvettes for sale til I was cross-eyed. Being retired, I can't afford going down that "show car" road. That, to me, is just a "who's got more money" thing. I just wanted a car that would be fun and people would say, "that's a sweet ride". So, happy hunting my friend.
