Yes, I've had my new baby just over 7 weeks. It's a stock 04 convertible. Tri-black. And I've put over 5000 kms on it already just cruising around.





And so I finally decided not to be a lurker anymore and join the group.

And the wave? It was natural by the end of the first hour.

Hey Cowtown Nice vette you have. I really like the C6 wheels. Nice work on putting so many km on that beauty. Guess she'll be going away for the crappy Alberta winter fairly soon

Stay away from the forum or you'll want to start modifying the cars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when I got mine, I thought a differant exhaust would be nice, then I thought headers would make the exhaust sound even better. Well with all the air going out, I figured I needed a vararam system and the LS6 Manifold. So I did all the bolt ons and thought Iwas done............................till winter came and the car looked slow.

Then cam my first cam package............................ then winter came again and the car looked slow.

So, I bought AFR heads and since the motor was going to be open, I bought a bigger cam, and a clutch that can handle it.................... Then winter came again and the car looked slow.

So, I neeed 3.90 gears, another clutch, tunnel plate, Z06 shifter............ (But this is where im getting better ) Summer came and the car looked slow, so I just bought a FAST 90/90 set up, and the torque II cam.

I really need to move back to FLorida where it's summer all year round and I can save money

Thanks for all the Welcomes All.

I'm not into modding <he says with slight conviction>, but I do have to change a muffler do to a rattly baffle. We'll see how well I don't mod once the new exhaust system is in in the spring.
