Finally!!!
Hey all,
I have been dreaming of owning a Corvette since I was eight years old.... And now, after 30 years of dreaming, and 20 years working hard, I have FINALLY been able to get myself a new (to me, anyways) C7 Corvette!!!
It's a Lime Rock Green Stingray, 7-speed mans-mission (although, to be fair, my wife can drive a stick...just not this one
), and Stock....ish. Honestly, I don't know if anything has been done mechanically, but the 1-4 lockout has been disabled. The exhaust manifolds are stock, for sure, and the motor doesn't look like it's ever been apart, either. I haven't had a chance to get under the car yet, but it's coming soon.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to learning and enjoying this lean mean green machine! Many mods to come!
