Default First Vette!!!! Finally

Just got my first Vette. Brand New 2011 Black Coupe 3LT.

Will post picks when the weather cooperates. I am in Northwest Indiana and am wondering if the sun will ever shine again. Was almost able to take it out today but they have been calling for rain all day.

What are some goodies to add to help personalize it and to add some more horses without voiding the warranty.

Thanks in advance to for all the ideas.

Congrats. Once you start adding you can't stop. Install a mild to wild. It will give you a few, literally, more hp but makes it sounds like it has way more.

Congrats on the new Vette!
I think cloudy days are the best for taking pictures of black cars.

CongratsA cold air intake would be a good start for performance and a new set of rims would take care of the personalizing.

Whatever you do, research it carefully before doing it. For instance, some cold air intakes are low enough to suck up water, hydrolock and destroy your engine in a split second, all for a performance gain that you will never feel or be able to documentate at a drag strip.
