New Guy Here
Hello everyone, my name is Scott and I just bought a 2000, Pewter Vette. Completely stock with 28K miles. I have owned a 78 Firebird, 81Trans Am, 70 Charger, 72 Mustang, 84 Mustang GT, 98 Mustang GT, 68 T Bird and now a Corvette. I've always wanted one, but the allure of the Mustang kept me content. I sold the Mustang last year and decided it was time. These forums are great for information on everything, I've been a member of the Fury Forum for about 10 years and I am sure this one is just as good.

Like you I too had other performance cars but when I bought my first Vette a used 1996 it blew away all of them. From that point on I became a Vette guy and have now owned 5. How GM pulls it off at the price point is amazing. Every Vette I owned held its values and every 4 years I added some $$$ until I finally bought a new 2019 Grand Sport. I bought a new 2023 and it rose the bar to the elite sports cars in the world.

And welcome to the forum. Congrats on your pewter C5. I had a 2000 car in the same color - it really is a beautiful color on the car.

That Pewter 2000 Corvette with just 28K miles is a fantastic find, and I’m sure you’re going to love every minute behind the wheel. The transition from Mustangs to a Vette is a big step, but there’s nothing quite like the balance of power, handling, and style that the C5 offers.

Looking forward to hearing more about your Corvette journey—welcome aboard!
