At 19 I would have been crazy with it, so be smart, respect the power, and don't let your friends get you in trouble by stupid racing or anything. Let the mods begin!!!
I'm delighted to see the young guns step up and keep the Vette tradition alive. Welcome to the forum and enjoy!

I bought my first vette when I was 20. It was a beautiful black (repainted) '73 coupe. I sold it to get married.
NEVER make that mistake.

Congrats on the sweet car! I sometimes wonder how ppl your age afford em'... But that's not my business...
I'm 24 now, got mine at 23 and I thought I was doing well for myself. I guess I need to get me a C6 now too!

Hey there, Congrats on the new Vette. I had my first one at 18, was a big block '69 T-top with a 4 speed. Ahhh, those were the days. A little advice, think about new wheels. As good as your car looks, it would be a different car with the right wheels. Again, congrats on your new ride!!!
