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!
