    An automatic??? I bleed on the inside...:D Great looking car. Nice find! It looks like it's in really good shape. It's older than my car, and yet it still has less miles, which adds yet another plus to it.

    Enjoy! I've heard Corvettes are the best sports car for the buck around. Sadly I have not had the pleasure of driving one :( Almost got to take a Porche Boxster to prom though, but that plan fell through.

    Nice to see another reefer/gearhead :)

    Ive always wanted a 'vette to play around with, almost picked up a '04 Z06 but ended up going with this instead:

    yeah, had 4 mustangs this is my first vette, got a great deal on it, and for the smoke rolling off the tires.. not an easy task those tires are really wide, and not to mention the $300+ each pricetag for the rears if i remember right their 245/40 zr17 on the rear

    the 94 zr-1 is a sweet ride i have a friend with a 92 model, have another buddy that has the 07 zo6 which is a freakin monster also

    and Jwin, the 6 speed vettes in the C4 and C5 gens had issues, the early 90's ones you had to be careful with, some had a super nice german 6 speed, others had a cheap mexican 6 speed in them that had serious issues, the 5 speed auto was really the best choice on them, + they have a factory 2300 rpm stall converter lol

    Ooooooh I didn't know that. You see, I wasn't old enough to know what a car was in the early 90's :D Maybe you just need to buy a 2009 vette and be done with it. I got dibs on driving it first. :p

    Its actually an '09 370Z...stock 19x10's in the back gotta go, have a set of 19x10's for the front with 12's in the rear on the way, it goes in to a local shop to be a testbed for a twin turbo setup this winter *evil grin*

    And yeah, I feel you. I had thought about a new-er 06 but just couldn't get over the pricetag. I do still want to tear apart an LS car and turn it into a track pounder though :)
