Could be a VETTE owner tomorrow!
Congrats, I just picked up mine last week. I don't miss my Z at all(which IMO was one of the nicest in my area).
Granted it's not a "new" vette but I never thought at 26yrs old I'd be a vette owner

Thanks for all the compliments on the car. I love it!! I really liked my TA alot and it took a beating all the time. I just hope that this car can do the same. The part I like about the Vette is the feel. The car feels like it is on rails. Even just sitting in it feels like you moving.

Congrats! I had my 99 black FRC for 1 month and broke a pushrod in half @ 5000 rpm! So it now has ported 243's and a F13 cam - bolt ons, ect. 401rwhp so far. If you do not do the motor upgrades soon I would think about some hard pushrods and some z06 or comp 918 springs for now. I know of 3 99 ls1 cars that have bent or broke pushrods. Not sure if it is the year thing or not?? Anyway good luck Visit corvetteforum.com also. Cya

On the other hand... I have some comp 921 springs and thunder racing pushrods forsale in the forsale forum!
STLBLUES, your car looks good with those wheels. My TA was a 99 model and the valve springs got real weak in it. On the dyno at 5200 RPM it was losing like 35 HP. The first thing that I have to do is ditch the wheels and then I am going to start on the motor mods. I am planning on running the T-REX cam and a different set of heads.
