Default First Corvette C5 Z51 Convertible
Hello all. I just got my first Corvette a few days ago. He is a 2000 C5 Z51 Convertible with 6-speed manual. I just love this car. It runs and drives great. I also really appreciate this forum as it has informed me greatly on making my decision on buying a Corvette. I have even already made some minor fixes (fuses, etc.) thanks to information I found in this forum. Can't wait to get "Skooter" out on a warm sunny day with the top down!
