Awaiting delivery of my 2017 Grand Sport
Newbe here. I recently ordered a 2017 Grand Sport 7sp and it should be arriving in May 
This will be the 1st Corvette I've owned and intend to do lots of tracking with it along with my other race car. I live 7 miles from Thunderhill Raceway. Needless to say I spend a lot of time there and no trailer necessary Anyway I've got lots to learn about this car and have been told this is the right spot to find out. Now that I have kind of introduced myself.... Hey folks

I don't know ..there is something inherently unfair about this.....what are you going to work on over the weekends? You will never experience the thrill of getting five different opinions on how to change the oil, what type of oil to use and not use, or how to lift the car without putting cracks in your top, etc.....oh well, ....all that to say congrats on your new vette, ....and when you get time (since you should have since you are not working on it), post some pics......

Those days are over. The only thing I will be changing are to track wheels and tires before an event All I need to do now is find some 18x10 and 18x12 wheels. Suggestions? I'll post some pics when the car arrives in May.
