Default 1st Corvette

Can you be a car guy and never have a car? Well I have always loved cars and specifically, in the last 12 years corvettes. Retired from the Army in 2005 and a corvette was going to be my retirement gift to myself. But life always seems to get in the way. So last month was finally the time and picked up a 2010 Grand Sport, actually more corvette than I figured I'd get. Originally had my sights on a C5 hardtop but...I'm loving this GS!

Default This forum already paying off

I was surprised at how high the oil pressure was on this GS, but found in a couple threads that this is normal (45 @ idle, and 75-80 @ approx 4K) for a LS3 dry sump.
