Finally got a car that's as fun as my bikes
I've wanted a Corvette since I was awestruck by a yellow C3 stingray when I was eight. Fast forward thirty years and I'm finally able to get a Corvette. This site was a great tool researching the different generations and what to look out for. Was really back and forth between a wide body C6 and a base C7. I never really warmed up to the C7's exterior or interior dimensions, I'm 6'3", so it was a bit tight. The head/valve issue scared me away from the LS7......so that led me to my new to me Grand Sport. Came with a Borla ATAK exhaust that sounds perfect! The honeymoon's still going strong, even though she'll be put away soon (Washington State). Now just need to balance my time with my bikes and the Vette.....
