First Corvette
Hello everyone! I have purchased my first Corvette! It is an 08' 3LT A6 base with 2.73 axle. Car is bone stock with 5,800 miles on the odometer. Thanks to reading these forums, yesterday I lowered my car and I am super excited about getting ready to mod the new toy!

Thanks! Coming from owning many mustangs and a few Cobra's, this thing handles sooooo much better! I should have done this much sooner!

Nice low mileage vette! Good job scoring that one. I am sure it will give you many miles of smiles!

Looks perfect as is, white looks great. Other than maybe painting break calipers, leave the exterior alone. Congrats!
