Hello everyone. I've been reading this forum for at least 10 months (i've had my 04 since last August. I have always been a camaro guy but as everyone knows they are no more. I traded in my 2001 SS for the vette. It's a 1SB, MN6, Z51 spiral grey. This is my second vette. My 1st was a 94' stick. It's roof leaked and GM switched out for my 95' Z28. So far I really have 'nt had any real problems with this one (apart from the passenger power window twice repaired). I hope it will stay that way! It's a daily driver and over all is a good ride. I put a blackwing intake and a B&B route 66 exhaust on. Both added noticible increases. Later!

As soon as I can get some pictures and figure out how to post them, I'll get'em out (I'm not too computer savey and don't own a digital camara at this time). As far as the forum goes it is very informative and an excellant reference tool.
