Hey all,
It's been a looooong time, but I'm back on this forum and thinking Vette again. I owned a '94 back in the day, sold it for a S2000, and sold that for a Miata that I K-swapped and turned into a track/trailer only road course special.
Meanwhile, I've kept my eyes on Corvette. For a long time it was the C5 Z06. These days I'm thinking about selling the track car and picking up a C6 Z06, performing some reliabilty mods and keeping it in the road legal/track capable sweet spot. Gain some precious garage space and still have fun.
Anyway, Hello!
Derek
