Default Bought my first Vette

Well, this last weekend, I traded in my Supercharged 05 Mustang GT for a 07 Vette Z51. And i have to say, I have been nothing but impressed with the vette. From power, to handeling, to braking to MPG. Drove it 500 miles from LA back to norcal. So far Very cool Car. Only have one pic from a cell phone the night i bought it. Look forward to continue reading on the forum. found lots of cool info so far. Im going to do a few small mods. Lower it, Wheels, exhaust.. But as of right now, those are my only plans. See you guys around.

grats!! great car!

coming from a rwd with a lot of hp, i'm sure you know this already but: be extra careful in the rain up here. the wide back tires enjoy losing traction.
