I have spent many years and thousands of posts on the corvette forum and I'm glad I found a new site.

I don't have any pics on this computer, but you can see the car when it was getting the work done at EPP. I bought the car from Richie Sposato and you can see it at www.exoticperformanceplus.com. It is the silver 2004. I bought the car w/ 9,150 miles and like I mentioned, it just turned 10k miles this past weekend. I'm really enjoying the car so far and it is as fast or possibly faster than my 408 C5, but a lot more civilized and comfortable. The car doesn't stop pulling.... I've only had it up to 130 mph in the 4th gear.

The rear end seems to be holding up so far, but I definately don't beat the hell out of it from a dig. I have noticed that the rear end has a slight leak.... is that pretty normal? OR a sign of bad things to come?

Looking forward to getting to know some of y'all. I'll see if I can get some pics up this weekend.

If you get the itch, there are a hdnful of us that are going to be at VIR this weekend. Swing by if you are interested or have time:

Additionally, Mark B, the original owner of that car was active on here for a while (and on ls1tech), as was Richie (a bit). Welcome! (And I hope the car stays with you for a while!)

I'm definately interested in coming out to VIR, but I'll be at a holiday party this weekend. I also need to get the rear end leak fixed to be able to take the car out.

I'm hoping to have the V for atleast a couple years. I know I get tired of cars quickly and every 2 years I start looking for something else.

Nice to have a neighbor on the forum....I am in Durham, and I have not seen another V in this area.

You should check out our local car forum (www.horsepowerjunkies.com). There are car shows and cruise ins all the time. There was a Toys for Tots charity event sponsored by the site at the Ale House on 15/501 last weekend.
