Default Hello/Introduction

Just joined the corvette forum and wanted to say hello to all, the wife and I bought a 2005 back in May, black/cashmere with 1sb option package,6 speed and transparent top. This looks like a good forum what I've seen so far. One message I read on needed antenna change on the c6, putting it in the mirrors I think? I probably would have got XM radio, but didn't want that small box on the top, it looked like a Nascar camera.

Hi Dan,

I live in the Tampa area in Florida. Welcome. I would highly reccomend getting one of the air boxes (Halltech stinger) or such as well as a tune of the car, followed by a dyno run. I put corsa exhausts, halltech stinger and the tune and Dyno and the car is much much quicker.
I was happy with the car from the dealer but after the work and tune, the car performs incredible !!!

Welcome again

Chucky 7
