What's up guys?

A little about me -

My name's Adam.
I'm 20 (21 in 4 days).
I work for GM.
I live in KC, MO.

A little about the vet -

2005 C6 coupe
6-speed
Victory Red
Purchased 6/1/07



I bought her from a dealer in Miami. I was told that she was all stock with exception to the Halltech Stinger Intake. It didn't come with a key, spare fob, or owner's manual. I purchased a key, and downloaded the owner's manual. I know it's a part of buying a used car, but I'll probably keep her until the c7s come out.


I plan on doing something with the wheels, but I am a big fan of stock wheels and haven't seen an aftermarket set that I liked half as well.

First, I looked into getting a set of ZO6 rims but couldn't find any for under a grand. So, I think that I'm going to chrome the rims that I have. Either that or have them powdercoated a smoked grayish color similar to some of the z rims.


I have been searching around the forums, and reading a lot. I will continue to look around and learn, but I have a question.

A friend of mine just bought an '07, and I was looking at his exhaust and they look a lot smaller than mine. So I think that the previous owner had some sort of exhaust installed. I don't have any pictures to look off of, so I don't know what kind or how far back it goes. I know that the headers look stock, but can't tell when this exhaust really starts if it really isn't stock.

Welcome aboard and congrats on the 05 Corvette. If the last picture in your thread is your Corvette the exhaust is definitely not stock. I have Corsa Sports my 05 and your exhaust looks bigger than mine. I'm sure someone will recognize yours and post which after market system it is.
