Default Hello from Mid-Michigan

Hello! I'm Mathieu, located in Saginaw, MI. I just picked up my first Corvette this weekend. I've been on the search for a Corvette for almost a year now and am so happy to finally have one in my garage. It's a red on red 1992 with the ZF 6 speed manual.

Mileage is 113k, the car has almost been completely gone through mechanically. The previous owner did tires, brakes, shocks, battery, alignment, spark plugs, all fluids, and all weatherstripping. At this point, the car just needs an A/C recharge and will eventually need a clutch, but I think I'll be able to at least get through this summer on the current one.

The C4 is my favorite Corvette, I'm in my mid-20s so I remember seeing these more commonly on the road growing up. I'm fairly mechanically-inlcined and tend to do a lot of DIY work on my own cars, so I'll be using the forum to gain some knowledge on things specific to the C4. Thank you for reading and I'm happy to now be part of the club! 😎

Welcome to the forum from another Michigander, although located lower in the state than Saginaw.

Great looking C4, and the perfect color too!
