Hey guys, I am a new member to the forum and new corvette owner! Well, old but new to me! I purchased a 99 C5 Corvette Coupe. It has an LS1 and 6 speed transmission. It is pretty stock except for the steering wheel. It is a Sparco wheel with an NRG quick disconnect. I am looking to replace all components to get the car handling better and some more horsepower. I have learned there are some complex systems (i.e. electronics) in this car that I am looking to learn about. I love everything about this car now. I know I will love it more later. Thank you to those that help guys like me!
