Hello,

Located here in Houston Texas we own a 2000 C-5 Corvette.

The Experience... Well is a very low mileage to C5 so its been nice so far.

We had the car in Europe for a number of years and just brought it back to the states at the beginning of this year.

Alongside of the Corvette We have a highly modified fully built Datsun 240 Z with a built straight six 3.2 turbo stroker L-series motor Equipped with a turbonetics 62–1 - 300zx TT build 5 speed, LSD rear end - full Suspension/big brakes - Car dynode on a conservative Dyno 487whp/ 511wtq at 20psi on 93oct.

Loving it... Right time of the year... can actually drive with the top down and not instantaneously get covered with perspiration from the humidity..

Purchased the 1999 vet last week... In perfect shape.
