This is a great informative forum. I'm new to this site and finally I am a corvette owner. I grew up with a garage under my bed and my Father racing in NHRA\IHRA. I saw my first stingray on the track as my father helped out another drag racer with test and tune his vette on a 1/4 track this was about 38 years ago. Car was C3 model but I was a kid back then so I do not know exact year. I was hooked when I saw that car.

My car is a 1972 C3 however not a matching number car. She had frame off restore. The engine is a 1970 vette factory 350 that has 300 HP. It is a driver but has the best of both model's perks.

One last thing, I tend to forget the members know what a C3 is. LOL
