Hello everybody. I'm new to the board. Just bought my first Vette last thursday and I gotta say I love this car. It's a red 2001 Z06. Well, I just wanted to introduce myself.

Thanks guys. I've already been reading through the site. Very informative. I've had the car a week now and I still go into my garage 3 or 4 times when I'm home just to look at the car.
