Congrats ...and welcome.......and yes, you certainly aren't the only previous F-body owner on here. I have to admit to a Firebird 350 Formula.

Love those HRE wheels.

I was never super crazy about corvettes, their looks anyway. Once I sat in one and drove one, I absolutely love the freaking car. Most fun you can have with your pants on (unless you drive with your pants off )

I guess you weren't joking when you said you wanted to swap the Camaro for a Vette.

I sent you a PM on LS1Tech. Gimme a holler if you want to meet-up at the Sonic one night. Good to see you got one with a blower already on it.

Don't be too quick to unload those big brakes. I was on a banzai run a couple weeks ago (running a bike past CJ's Tire late one night) and wished I had bigger brakes when I started running down a slow-moving car way ahead... The base brakes fade mighty quick when you stand on them at 150+.

I like it. I just bought my first Vette, too.

Now the only thing this thread needs is more pictures!
