Damn can't believe I missed the etown event. I was at island Friday for street night. Didn't run the vette tho, couple of my friends ran, track was about 1/2 second slow from what we were seeing though.
And once again thanks for the welcome. I'll update and put up a pic or two once I'm on a computer stuck at work currently.

Ha, darkside! I made the same comment when I sold my 04 GTO and moved up to an 08 vette. I told the GTO forum I was going to the "darkside" and I was quickly reprimanded and told that mustangs are the dark side. Now we both know!

Hey guys I have been lurking this forum for a while and decided to finally post up having just bought my first corvette last week.
It's a cyber gray 09 3lt 6 speed f55, nav, chrome wheels, npp. Etc etc
I'm a complete newbie with corvettes and GM. However not new to cars/muscle cars/sports cars. I have owned 8 mustangs, my last one being an 03 cobra. Finally switched over to the darkside and boy does it feel good. I absolutely love the car, such a fantastic automobile.
I'm posting from my iPhone right now so don't if I can upload any pictures but I'll try and put some up later today.
Looking forward to my stay here and learning more about these cars, mods, etc.

Welcome and don't worry about being on the dark side. I owned an 89 5.0 for 20 yrs along with a couple Vettes. Mustangs are good cars but a very different animal from a Vette! I guarantee that you will enjoy this car!

Hello & congrats on your new ride. As a life long corvette enthusiast and owner of first a C5 and now a C6 I can tell you that you won't be disappointed. You are going to find that there's plenty of corvettes in NJ and plenty of related things to do. There are a number of corvette clubs throughout the State and you might want to check these out. Again, congrats and good luck. Save the Wave

OH, So, I've been driving around an imaginary 07 Z51 LMB w/Corsa's, +35 hp chip in the engine, with black wheels, for the last month,...
because I don't have pics up?
It's been one hell of a dream,
but this speeding ticket sure seems real, huh, maybe I'll just pitch it. Thanks.
And, Frank...(newer guy by 6 weeks than me), take some advice:
GET OUT OF THIS FORUM NOW, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M GOING TO BETTY FORD'S WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM FOR THIS, I LOST MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN, MY HOUSE,
because all I'm doing is seeing how far I can push the vette, and when I run out of gas money I jump on the Forum.
Betty says, "It's worse than any drug junkie she's ever seen"

Congrats and welcome. There are many of us who have had a Mustang in our past.
For me, I love cars in all varieties.
You made a great choice of vettes with the Cyber Gray,
and you got a very nice equipment grouping as well.
