Default New east coast Vette owner saying hi.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and found the perfect vette for me. Its a '99 FRC, light pewter with only 11,800 miles on it. It only had 1 owner who was an elderly man who traded it in for a new Mercedes Benz. The car was garage kept and never abused, its perfect. Anyways, the Mercedes dealership who was selling it even had it in the show room and Ive saved the pictures that they had on their website (havent taken any of my own yet). Let me know what you guys think and its a real pleasure to finally be a part of an awesome forum!

P.S. I also work with this ******* named Chris Griffin, maybe you guys have heard of him? Hi Chris!

What a find. First mod I'd do is dump some FI cleaner down the PCV pipe and blow out all the carbon on that motor. Say hi to Chris for me.

Nice car. Im am envious of the FRC guys, their cars are debadged z06s and half of them dont even realize they're 1/2 a second faster than their removable roof brethren.
