New here and first Vette
Hi All. Like the title says I am new here and just got my first Corvette late last year (Sept. '11). I actually ran into a forum member with a "new to him" C5 Z06 recently who recommended the forum. I wanted to know which was the best one, so here I am.
Like others a Corvette has always been my dream car (among others)
so I am very excited to be able to own an American icon. I would really love to have a C6 ZR1, but I don't have that kind of cash and a low mile C6 was a great find and even better purchase.
I will be hanging out looking for information on how to mod my new toy/daily driver so I appreciate all the advice and great info you have here in advance!

I am very careful now and have a much better feel for the length of the front end.
