Hey from Houston
So I just traded my Mustang GT 350 in and purchased a 2013 Grand Sport convertible, This is my first vette, though I've been a fan for many years. I had a 1965 mustang fastback in high school (1970) and my buddy had a 1969 Z28. My 289 three speed was a dog compared to his camaro. I've owned several mustangs over the years and learned HPDE in them. It will be very different in my new GS but I am anxious to find out just how different. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum since I will be checking it out regularly. My name is Bill. I live in Houston.

Welcome from over in Waco. Besides my 2019 Stingray, I'm an original owner of a 2003 Torch Red Mach 1. I like the C7 better!
