hello from Mn, new C4 owner
Hello, I am a new owner of an 86 with 72k miles. It has a 4 spd manual and removable glass top. The corvette has always been my dream car and it only took me 47 years to acquire my first one.
I joined the forum with a couple of goals in mind..
1) get some wise input from people on some cost effective performance upgrades to make the car a little more fun and to be able to keep up with some of the other cars on the street.
2) meet other corvette owners/enthusiasts from my area that arent too hoity toity to talk to a c4 owner lol. ( I dont own a set of golf clubs but I smoke cigars on a daily basis)
I look forward to hearing from the group.

Hello, I live in wright county. Congrats! Thats a great and fun car, probably my upgrade in a couple years lol. Have you found any clubs in the area, Ive looked on line and havnt found any that I felt like would be a good fit for me. Either the average age of the group was a bit older than me or they seamed a little to hoity toity for me. I just want to connect with cool people that dont think their crap dont stink lol.
