New guy, First corvette, 17
Hey everyone!
Just bought a project car as my 4th ever car (Mazda CX-5, Tesla Model 3, Jeep Wrangler) and it's great! C7 Z51, manual!! (first manual), blue. It hasn't been shipped yet. Until then, I've been geeking out looking at it. Any advice? Don't have any great pics yet as it hasn't come. Looking for any advice from similar owners.
Thanks!

Firsr - welcome to the forum and congratulations on your first Corvette.
This forum is great place to learn, good people with (mostly) good advice.
I would advise you to get to know your Corvette before you get too excited about adding modifications. Since you have a manual tranmission you don't need to worry about the auto transmission triple flush, BUT it's always a good idea to flush and refill all fluids in a new-to-you car.

What year is your C7.
What known issues does it have (since it is a project car)?
Lots of information, wisdom and advice on this forum.
