Hi all,

New guy checking in, bought my first corvette a few weeks ago, an 07 Z51 3LT A6 in Atomic Orange. After searching for that exact configuration for months, I pounced on this once as soon as I saw it, and called it a nice birthday present to myself.

I'm loving the car, already did my first road trip through Reno and Yosemite, and first mod with a radar projector bought from another CF user.

This is my second LS powered machine, I had an 04 GTO for quite a while (hence my username), and was somewhat active in the goat community back in the day.

Looking forward to reading and modding with all of you. Cheers!

Happy birthday to you! Nice looking Vette! I too hit the open road right after purchasing mine. I will bet the ride through Yosimite was great. Enjoy the forum!

Perfect birthday gift to yourself! Nothing better than a road trip with a new to you Vette, I did the same thing with my 07 a couple of years ago and have not quit smiling yet. Beautiful car, enjoy it everyday you can!

OP, this is by far the best forum for info about the car. You can find out just about anything you need to know.
