Default New Guy Here

I've been reading the forum for some time now and have gained a lot of knowledge from you folks. As former Corvette owners (me-'73) (wife-'72), I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the Z06. We will be in line to buy one when it's released. There's a lot of C6 bashing and tearing this thing apart but one thing remains-I don't think you can get more bang for your buck and have one of the best looking rides on the road than you can with a Vette. Let's get it on!!!!!!! :chevy

Well if your waiting for the Z06 C6 it'll be a couple of years from what I hear and could be 600 hp. :thumbs: :seeya
