Welcome! Nice ride!

A tip for searching. Never use the Corvette forum search to look up threads. I always use Google and get much better results.

Example: If I wanted to see what people recommend for tires I would go to Google and type: Tire recommendations C5 Z06. Bam. You get a ton of Corvette forum threads to view.
