Ford guy converted to Chevy
Hello everyone,
I just bought an 05 C6 convertible with 14k. I had to get rid of what I thought previously to be a pretty cool car. I know now that I was mistaken . I am now thoroughly in extreme like of the new Chevy
. Here are some pictures of old bird and new toy.

Welcome aboard and congrats on the 05 Corvette Vert. I must admit that I like the Corvette much better than the T-Bird.

I have to agree that I love the vette more than the t-bird myself 
. I just didn't know what I was missing when I had the bird. I now know that it was about 155hp. I still have the bike, but it has sat in the garage all weekend due to the new car 
. The pictures are from here in NM.
I took her to the drag strip last night and ran a 13.97 at 5250 above sea level. I was extremely impressed that it is only about 2s slower than the bike. All of that speed and great gas mileage. I can now start modding the car and see where I end up. I only need a few mods, but the first investment will be a radar detector (valentine one). It just doesn't seem to understand speed limits .
