Default Almost like getting a christmas present

Yesterday I got to talk with the guy that had owned my 05 vert that I bought 6 weeks ago. The guy is a real vette fanatic. Anyway I wanted to know what if anything besides the corsa exhaust he did to the vette.
He said I order the car new the way I wanted it and had a Corvette dealer near Cooperstown, NY put the exhaust on plus underhood panels
and updated to chrome wheels and also i had The Varaam cold air system put it. ( Merry Christmas to me). No wonder this car is like a rocket.

Yea I know didn't I look under the hood when I bought it. Yes it was very clean. Had no idea about the Varaam until I got on this forum. Well that Ione thing less to buy.

Hey Chopper,
As I said I did look under the hood it was clean. Won't have know a stock box from a Varaam on a C-6, since I came up from a C-4 ( which
I would have known the diff. instantly).
