Default Another Texan Checking In

Greetings from NE Texas everyone.

I'm a potential Corvette convert. Currently, my fun car is an '08 Infiniti G37S coupe which is a really excellent and well-driving car (like a 370Z wearing a tuxedo), but I've always had a longing for a Corvette.

For the kind of use I foresee, a C5 Z06 is probably the strongest contender at this point. This looks like a great place to learn, ask stupid questions and then later browse the for sale sections.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum and I’d recommend you visit the C5 sections of the forum - you’ll find a lot of useful information there.

Welcome to the forum!
I agree with Vetteman Jack - you will pick up a lot of information that will be very beneficial to you when you are ready to make your purchase. Be sure and review the Sticky Threads at the tops of the different sections.
Also, be sure and look at the C5 Corvettes For Sale section. You may find your dream car there.
Best wishes with your search!
