Buying 1st Vette c5 z06 Pearland,TX
Hello to everyone. I'm looking to buy my first corvette. I have owned a few 4 cylinder turbo cars, but I'm finally realizing there is no replacement for displacement. I'll probably buy something with 80-100k miles, looking to stay at around 13-15k. I'm also looking to find a car with cam, upgraded valve train, long tubes, cai, tune. I'm really looking forward to learn from the community and share things as I learn them. I've still never driven a corvette, but have owned fast cars and motorcycles before.
