I've wanted a Vette all my life, most especially when the C4's came out. It was instant lust. Now that I'm old and fat I can finally afford a non practical toy car. This is my first and it is true love. I keep it garaged and under cover and it is perfect. I put new rubber on right away even though it wasn't needed. It's a stock Z52 auto and I had 3:08 gears installed.
