First Vette
Hello everyone,
My name is Ken. I’m from MA and this is my first corvette. It’s a black 2000 C5 targa top 6spd with 45,000 miles on it with a Corsa exhaust and K&N intake.
I don’t plan on doing anything major to it this year hopefully next year. I’ve heard a ton of good and bad stuff about the C5’s and keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t run into to many of the bad stuff. All I know is the 700 miles I have put on it so far has had me grinning from ear to ear and I can’t wait for the warmer weather so I can take the top off and cruise.
Wish me luck
cheers!!
