Default Noob saying hi...

Hey there, I'm about 3 weeks new to the Corvette thing. Had a 9 second '91 Mustang for 15 years, sold it, bought an '06 TrailBlazer SS, had it for 7 months, and I couldn't get the Corvette out of my head hahaha. Traded it in on an '04 Z06, 25K miles, Millenium Yellow. I don't have to tell you all what a blast it is.

Anyway, I just registered, and thought I'd get my cherry popped and make my first post. Great looking site you guys have here. I look forward to learning more about my Z. Cheers!!!

Jeff.

Welcome Jeff Congradulations.
In particular my eyes have really been opened on this site regarding the colors, I really have not seen one that I didn't like.

Enjoy!

a side by side drag race of all colors would be fun.

it would have to be stock Z06's of the same year with the same transmission to make it fair.

we could do it in pairs of two and the fastest time overall would be the fastest color.

but i know torch red would win. ;-)
