Default Hello from Scanton, Pennsylvania

Hello everyone. I've been browsing the forum since I bought my Corvette so figured I'd finally make an introduction post.

I've been a fan of Corvettes for some time now and just purchased my first C5 back in the beginning of September. I've been driving it every time the weather is nice and I absolutely love it. I've had my fair share of cars and I have to say this one is an absolute blast to drive! I look forward to doing some modifications and making it what I really want.

So far I've only added a Corsa Extreme axel back which sounds great. I also have some C6 Z51 sway bars and links on order. Since my rear sway bar snapped, I figured I might as well upgrade. This forum helped me choose a good setup for the car. Lookijg forward to learning more about these as time goes on.

Here's my 2001 Navy Blue 6 Speed
