Default Hello corvette forum

Hey guys and girls, Im Darby and this is my hello thread. I just picked up my first vette. I Snagged a 2004 Yellow Z06 with 15700 miles. All stock besides a black wing intake and a highly upgraded stereo. Im a long time club Lexus member with a fairly modified ISF making about 550 wheel and decided to add my first American car to the stable and give my ISF a garage buddy. Hoping to have the same great experience with the corvette forum as I have Clublexus.

Well, welcome to the maddness!

Check your VIN and see if you are in this batch of numbers..VIN 45110258 to 45125500

Couple of nice upgrades is to get rid of the CAGS and put in an LMC5 module from Compliance Parts if they haven't been done.

You'll need to know this

Main purpose i picked it up for is club road racing as id like to slow down the beating my isf takes every year between track, strip and daily driving in warmer months. im thinking im going to add a mwg short shifter, ARH LT, a good catch can, tune, toyo proxy 888s and a set of carbotechs. I was thinking that would cover most of the easy gains out of the car on the track.
