Default Hi Everyone

I wanted to stop in and say Hi. I picked up the car a few days ago from the dealer and I'm really excited about it. It's an 08 1LT with Z51 in Velocity Yellow.

I'm planning to set it up next year to run SCCA Solo Super Stock Class.

I'm new to owning a Corvette, so I don't know much about them, but I'm a pretty quick learner, otherwise I do have a decent amount of seat time in C5's and C6's at many events.

Check out www.revitup.com for more information

Thanks,

GJ

Welcome, don't know why you put a coat and tie on to pick up the car - most of us are less formal.

Hey man!
Welcome and play safely! What a beautiful car! I have a 1971 now and I love it so much. The 08's are just amazing! Up until now I havn't liked the newer styles but they are just awsome now.
I see why you have a big smile I'd be proud of that too!

Thanks Again!

Now I just wish it was spring so I could actually drive it, instead of letting it sit in the garage.

On the plus side, it gives me time to get organized with getting the necessary parts to set it up for Super Stock.
