Default New From NC

Hello! I am Ashlee from NC. Just sold my 04' Mustang Mach 1 and bought a 2000 Corvette with only 28,000 miles! She is beautiful!!!! Black on black targa top 6spd! I was so excited, I've wanted a vette since I was 10yrs old ... people always told me I wouldnt get one and here I am, 20, with my vette.

I am new to the LS1's however my family isnt! My boyfriend has a Black 2002 Camaro SS with MANY mods .... my brother has a White 1999 Trans AM WS-6 with many mods as well and a Black 1999 Trans AM that is stock (it's the gas saver, ha!)

Anywho ... I love my car and surprisingly, my insurance cut in half when I got it.

I learned my lesson with the Ford, I hated that car. The main reason I had it was because it was a good deal ... I had an Acura RSX type S and totalled it... had to get something quick so I got the Mach1. It only had 4,000 miles on it and I paid $20,500 for it. I sold it a year later with 16,000 miles on it for $22,500. I came out good.

Sure thing, I wanted a ZO6 at first but then I decided that I would rather have the targa top. It doesnt take much to get the standard 00' Vette up to the same HP as that body style ZO6.

Thanks! I hate Southpark!!! I work across from the mall and the people out here cannot drive!!! One lady was eating, drinking, smoking, talking on the phone, and driving at once .... another was painting her toe-nails at the intersection of Sharon Rd. and Fairview Rd. Rediculous! Anywho, Brian and I don't live far ... always looking for a cruise.

I know I am too! I've already had alot of fun in it. It is much better than the Mustang and I love the way it sounds!!! We cut off the mufflers ... sounds great other than an annoying popping sound when you let off. We also did the superchip thing, I don't know if or how much it increased the hp, it seems to be a little faster now and it definitly change the rev limiter.
