New Guy from Mass
Hello to everyone. Looking to place my order in the next month or so. Been over in the vintage mustang forums for the past few years while I restored my 66 mustang convertible. Had a ton of fun doing that.........then I saw the C8! I was trying to figure out how to sell the Mustang and get the Vette until the wife asked my last night "why don't you keep both?"
Never had a Corvette before. Never had a Chevy for that matter. I've always had GMC Trucks. However, my late Father in law worked at the Chevy engine plant in Buffalo and I'm sure he would be amazed at the technology behind the new Corvette.
Anyway, looking forward to absorbing the knowledge around here and asking tons of questions.
Thanks in advance
Peter
