Hello all. I have not adopted my first corvette yet but that is partially why I am here…for more research. I have always found forums to have the best info coming from real people. I am military with only a couple years to retirement and have loved the Corvette since I could say the word. I haven't thought about it in a few years but a friend just bought a 2014 Stingray LT3 with every available option and after driving it in every mode, it rekindled the fire. I am most interested in the C5 Z06(02-04). I love the sexy curves and the upgrades on the engine, brakes and body etc. I plan on this being my retirement gift to myself.
