Greetings from the Pacific
Hello everyone. Currently underway on the USS Carl Vinson, but that didn't stop me from buying a beautiful 2004 ZO6 LeMans Commemorative Edition sight unseen after finally finding the one. This will be my first Corvette - long overdue. I plan to keep it as close to perfection as possible, but she will see some track and autocross. Already have a front swaybar/endlinks and Ferodo DS2500 brake pads on the way from stranoparts.com, now I just have to figure out some wheels - shocks to follow. Flying out to Kansas next month to pick her up and drive her home to WA - will post a trip pic or two. Love to hear from anyone else who has set up a C5 for autocross or track.
Cheers,
JP

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your service - Go Navy. 
As far as advice on setting up your car, post up a thread in the Autocrossing and Roadracing Section or the Drag Racing Section. Lots of knowledgeable people in those sections that can give some good advice.
