Default ahhh, finally!!!

I've been lurking for a few weeks, I finally feel official......my new 08 Z06 arrived today, about 2-3 weeks early . This is my first corvette, absolutely amazed, one of the happiest days in my life, haha!

I ordered a JSB, Q44 on 2/16, only took 33 days. I'm sure everyone has seen their share of jsb z's....but I'm gonna post my pics tomorrow .

btw, I am coming from a vey different car....a highly modified subaru STi, 10 sec qtr mile car. As much as I loved the STi, the Z is in a whole new league.
