Default Howdy all!

Just wanted to introduce myself onto the board... quite the forum, I must say! I've already wasted too many hours at work perusing as much info as I can It's all work-related reading though, it turns out!

As for myself... i'm a college Senior studying Aerospace Engineering, currently on co-op for GM's aerodynamics group. Pretty cool work, plus getting to be around and see GM's latest-and-greatest before it hits the market is a definate bonus as a car enthusiast.

Unfortunately, no 'Vette for me just yet. I'm currently driving a 2005 RSX-S. It makes a great commuter, but last summer I got the opportunity to flog a C6Z, and I won't be forgetting that too soon! Soon as I get out though, the ricegrinder goes and hopefully gets replaced with a C5Z -- I love the FRC body style and the great gas mileage for a borderline supercar.

So thanks for the great site! I'll be looking forward to hanging around here

I'm also going to be a senior in Aerospace Engineering. I go to Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach. Where are you?

I bought my 04 coupe at the start of my junior year.

Awesome Co-op you have there!

Speaking as an AeroSpace Engineer for 30 years, Vettes don't don't need no stinking wings...
