First Vette & Post
Hello & thank you for all the great information.
So far forum members have helped me decide what 'Vette to buy (05 Coupe Z51), what stone guards to put on, which replacement tires to get (PS2 /AS - right lane driver mostly), and to probably replace the HVAC control head myself (may need more coaching on that one).
Vicky came with a Blackwing cold air intake and Corsa exhaust (not sure yet how much is non stock). My second spring roll out is coming up. Can't wait. Drove my share of 60's muscle in the day, followed by grocery getters, now 40 years older...V8 power once more. Thanks again & be careful out there everyone.

Welcome Sir !
Be careful, this forum will save you a TON of money, but will also motivate you to spend a TON of money on upgrades, modifications, and all sorts of other expenditures!
This is my second vette, and I have almost the same situation as you. I purchased a 2005 Z-51 with a Blackwing intake and a Borla exhaust.
This is a great resource...enjoy your wheels!

There are a lot of Microsoft "Power Toys", one being image re-sizer. Right click and choose from several file sizes. Easy as that!
