Just got my first vette!
Hi my name is Matthew. I just traded my 05 BMW M3 for a 05 c6 1lt corvtte. I proud to be a chevy guy again with already previously owning a 72 malibu, a 68 camaro, and a 72 nova. This vette is awsome and I cant wait to make it faster and more powerful. Why cant I post some pics on this forum? I have alot of questions, but will post them in the tech forums, so please chime in if you have answers.

Aloha Matthew and welcome to the CF, congratulations on your C6. I also came from the BMW world, 2 M3s, 1 330ci and my last hurrah was a modded 645ci. I can tell you that you will enjoy your Vette, I know I have and that includes the modding of it. See you in the Tech section.
