Hi - I'm a newbie to both vette ownership and the forum.
Live S/W of Chicago
Got my Vette the 1st of this month - only mods so far is double logo Lloyd floor and cargo mats.
Vette will be a daily drive - about 800 miles on it now.
Previously owned an 02 Lightning, 98 LS1 Formula, and numerous others all the way back to my first car, a 61 Ford Falcon- Also own a 83 Hurst Olds I'm restoring and have both 65 and 79 Harley FL's (Electraglides)
Been bracket racing for fun for 35 years...
I'm sure I will have lots of questions...
Post would be worthless w/o a pic so...

It's off my phone so its kinda crappy, but I will have good pics soon...
Mark

No problems yet - been taking it kinda easy until I get past the 1K mark and change out the oil (Ok - I got on it a couple of times) to get the alum shavings out of it... My LS1 Formula had a bunch of little alum shavings in the first oil change.
