Default Newbie from Cali with Z06

Hello all. Well after 28 years I'm getting a Corvette again. My last Vette was a 69 with a 427 big block.

I'm an AZ transplant living in So Cal. I'm picking a 2007 Z06 this Valentine's day weekend in Phoenix and driving it back to Los Angeles. I found a used one for $40K and decided to pull the trigger on it.

My current vehicles include a BMW 540i, a Suzuki Hayabusa and a Honda RC51.

I hope you all can help me out with advice on accessories and mods for my car and maybe I can make some contributions myself after I get back up to "Corvette" speed after being away for so long.
