Lurking for a while, here now
Hey guys,
I've been lurking in the shadows from awhile, and finally made an account. Honestly though I did awhile ago. I have an 01 vette that I've been building into a track car. I'll occasionally drive it on the street but not much. I come form a much smaller (miata) world. It was boosted and making to much power for the wheelbase so I decided to move into something a little longer and something I could grow into. I had maxed out the block and didnt want to put the kind of money into it to make it take more power. Turns out buying a corvette is more expensive but thats ok. I've been collecting parts and slapping a pretty ok (imo) track vette to have fun this season. Thought I'd say hi and look forward to asking questions from more knowledgeable folks when I run into issue/questions!
