Default new 2009 Vette

Hello Guys

I just bought a new 2009 vette. Is there anything that I need to keep an eye on concerning the car or problems?
It seams like a real tight handling car.
Just looking for some advice-

Anyone have the loundmouth exhaust on their car?

Thanks
Ed

I have one too... watch out tho... i think its the fastest year they made.

I did not add mufflers.. but I did add some QTP cutouts. I dont think they added a lick of HP, but they sure do sound awesome.

Congratulations. Here are my suggestions:


1. Get good radar detector if you don't have one already.

2. Expect to replace the rear tires soon.

3. Keep an eye on your credit card balance. Mods are very tempting.

4. Read the Corvetteforum for at least 1 hour a day.

Enjoy!!!
