I have always wanted a vette and the opportunity presented itself. A few of my mustang pals have disowned me But oh well. Here is a couple of pics. I am new to the chevy game. My last 6 cars were mustangs: 03 cobra, 00 Saleen vert, 01 Roush ht, 96 GT, S/C 85 GT, Modded 89 gt. Ya'll seem like a bunch of cool people. I have SVT Performance my home for the past 4 years. I guess it's time to move!
Nice to meet you all.
Rocky
Best bunch you will ever meet. Great forum, welcome.

Beautiful Vette! My favorite color too. There are lots of Mustang lovers here including me. Welcome! You should add your photo to the 'Blue Vette' thread.

Brand 'C' & 'F' can co-exist just fine together in the same household. I've a '65 Hipo F/B and '67 GTA F/B in-residence w/the Z06. So far no fights. As for your friends, tell 'em to lighten up! There is more to life than one brand of car.

Nice looking vette! You definitely have good taste in cars. I do love mustangs, but the vette a lot more.

Default Thanks

A big thanks to everyone for the welcome!!! Gonna feel right at home here!! There's a few things done to it, that I'm unfamiliar with. It has a Halltech?? cold-air, (not sure what that is, so bear with me!),
some type of exhaust, the mufflers are stainless, and it has large large tips, but it is very very quite??
I am thinking about off road x and later long tubes to liven her up? Guess I need to start searching the tech forums!!
