Default Re: My First Corvette (ron92Z07)

I know. I've alrady laid out a plan. Tint the windows, Factory C/D player (20th street auto a corvette bone yard here sells them for $250. Good deal?)
Chrome ZO6 wheels, and Borla exhaust. For a start.

I did notice on the way home at 70 mph there is a vibration in the steering wheel. Iam thinking I need to check the balancing on the front tires. He said he had the right front re-balanced with tape weights. The other three are wheel weights.

Iam totally digging this car. Ive built some pretty mean Mustangs in the past but thay do not compare the style and beauty of this car in stock form. I actually care where I park it too. Iam hooked.

Congrats!
Because we all went through the same thing when we bought our "first Corvette", we know exactly what you are talking about.
Enjoy your new toy!
