'07 Monterey Red/Cashmere Vert
Like the subject says I test drove an '01 vert yesterday. Real sweet car, perfect day for top down driving. I did have a few concerns about the car though.
First, when I aplied the brakes, the car wanted to pull to the right. I take it this isn't normal??? Secondly, with only 26,000 miles on the car, it had new tires. This didn't bother too much, but why with 26k??? Would the tires have anything to do with the pulling???? Maybe an alignment is needed??? While on a straight, smotth road, the car tracked fine.

Any advise would be appreciated by this soon to be C5 owner.

tires typically only last about 20000 miles on a Vette, so tires should not be a problem - would definitely have a 4-wheel thrust alignment done on the car if you buy it
