1st Vette!

Just thought I'd say Hi...just stepped in to the world of new technology and the LS based engines. I've been working on the old GM iron for many years but am certainly enjoying the Vette! Nice to have a bit of muscle and A/C! I'm in the middle of reading my owners manual but look forward to learning lots here!

Thanks!...I'm very happy to have found the Forum, a few quick searches and I was able to find the answers to a few common newbie questions. ( coolant temps, park brake, SRTD LED display )..and funny thing about the 'dent' in the middle of the roof thread...a guy asked me about that yesterday! I told him it was good for 10-15 more HP
