What's up guys! I saw the white and black CTSV's and wanted to see if I could get any advice or feedback you might have. I have been looking for a few months and about ready to pull the trigger on a coupe to run as a daily driver. Any little things that I should be considering or looking for?
I know Toque said you guys try to keep the conversations low on this thread so feel free to PM me if you have anything you would suggest.

Thanks!

Got another project completed (mostly. still a work in progress).


Got a new tablet in!




Test fitting...




Establishing the mounts and installing the apps on the tablet.



Torque Pro connected via Bluetooth to my OBD2 reader! Extra gauges! Woohoo! I may mount the tab up higher for a more eye-level deal, but that would deflect the air up / down. Not that it would be a bad thing to have air directed down at the shift **** in case of sweaty hands.

A helpful "Just looking out for my fellow Corvette owners" post here, but for anyone who has ever wanted to run dash cams for a CYA scenario, there are 2 killer deals that were presented recently on AutoBlog:

I live close to TMS. Will you be going down 26 to Western center? Where will the GTG be at TMS? Midfield or in the parking lot?

Wasn't sure when I went though the thread and saw the mention of 1050 later on. Thanks. Hope to make it out.

Had to go to Blue Goose across the street. Brickhouse is closed for hail damage for a week.
