Is winter over?
God, I hope so.
I just put insurance back on my 99 and plan on taking it out this evening. I'll still have to take it easy at night because it will get below 45 degrees and I have summer only tires on her. She also has 528 rwhp so even when it's warm, it's hard to get traction more-or-less when it's cold. My 02 will stay hibernating till it's closer to car show season.

I sure hope it is over. I’m ready to get mine out too.

I sure hope so!!!
However, we experienced snow flurries, here, yesterday. Not enough to cause the roads to be salted again, thank God. Some rain is forecast for early next week, so hopefully the roads will get a thorough flushing, and it will be "Corvette Season" again.....

Z 18's all 'round? Looks like it. If so what tire sizes?
Lowered maybe 1/2"?
Is that Dodge souped up? A guy who recently started at my day job has 2, haven't seen his quick one yet, says it's in the 12's
I've been on the road 3 weeks now, crappy winter!

Today was the first time to have mine out. Spring has refused to show up in central North Dakota. Everything checked out good and it was wonderful to feel that torque pulling again after driving a minivan all winter.

Yep, lowered. How much, I do not know but I'd guess an inch.
It's an Eagle Talon TsiAWD and yes, it's souped up. 350 AWHP so she really takes off. I'm sure it would smoke a stock C5.
