Default New Vette Owner

Hey fella's, got my 05 Z51 manual about 2 months ago. Ive always been into cars and somewhat of a gearhead but the corvettes are all new to me. Ive been reading the forum and have found alot of useful information for future refernece. Don't know much at all about the LS series engines, but look forward to learning alot and playing with my new toy. I also have a 71 chevelle that i have built and has been my pride and joy for a while now, but now that i feel comfortable with the vette i can't wait to do some modification and tinkering. Impossible for me to leave anything stock...lol.

If anyone knows of any corvette shops near my area...please let me know.

Thanks, They are two diff breeds but the vette out performs and handles any muscle car...not to mention it is much more user freindly. Still can't replace the raw power and sound of an old classic Hot Rod though.
