New Guy
Hey i'm new here. I don't have a vette yet but my dad is giving me his black 91 vette for graduation in 10 weeks. I drive a 95 v6 firebird 'vert now, hope you guys don't look down on v6'rs here.
Anyway, i figured i'd get a head start on reading up on mods and such for the vette. I'll just be lurking here for a while untill i actually get my car.
:cheers:

Welcome! If you haven't already driven the Vette, you won't beleive the change between your anemic 6-cyl and a Vette.

Welcome! :cheers:
Have you let Dad know what you're planning? And if the car is in good original condition, I'd recommend not trying too many mods, unless of course you really know what you're doing. Some of you of young guys are pretty saavy.
