Got my 1st vette...
1st vette
1st 6 speed
1st LS engine
I finally picked up my 1st Corvette this week. I never thought that I would have one... I bought a 2002 quicksilver coupe with red interior. 56k miles, 6 speed, Z51 suspension, has air intake, long tube headers, and full exhaust.
Got a check engine light on the way home with a code for the b2 s1 O2 sensor, found the o2 sensor wire harness extension had some melting damage from the header.
I replaced the o2 sensor wire extender, and added a skip shift bypass also today. Plan on some driving this weekend...
I am not used to driving something like this, and I am really suprised by this car so far. The only other performace vehicles that I have had have been sportbikes. This is my 1st performance car.
Oh yea, both my boys like it too (5 &11)

Congratulations and welcome to the insanity.
Hope you have the front license blank cover, unless you live in a state that requires a front license plate... in that case
Color combo is excellent: silver with red interior. With CAGS installed you'll like that M6 with Z51 configuration.

thanks for the replies,
I'm in texas, we are supposed to have the front plate, it has the bracket in the trunk for the front plate, will have to use it when I get it....
maybe they will change that law one day...

Car looks awesome man, congrats. Just a heads up though, I'm in Texas too and I've never been pulled over for not having a front plate. I'm in DFW, so it might be different where you're at.
