Hey guys,

Noob here joining the corvette forums. I will be in the market for a vette here in the next month or so (hoping to find a seller here). Looks like this place is a good place for posting questions and find some good info. I am not new to the lsx world. I currently have a 2001 Trans Am with the basic bolt-ons. Hoping to do a cam swap one of these days. Count down to the getting a vette and joining you guys!

Looking to get into a C6z if I can find one in my price range. But a C6 Grand Sport would be the runner up. But then a C5z would be a fun car for less money. So I am not 100% sure.lol Just start off by looking for a good deal.

That's probably the way to do it. Don't constrain yourself When I bought mine, I wasn't even looking for a Corvette specifically. I wanted something fast & gorgeous in a certain price range. All signs pointed here

Good luck in your search & welcome to the forum
