Default Stepping up and out!

Hey guys...Matt here!

Ive been dreaming and shopping for a Vette for well over a year, and I've finally found my mark!

Finances are set, stock profits are inbound, paperwork is pending and I cant wait for my new baby to make its way on the back of a truck from far east to far west.

I CAN"T wait! I have to admit, I'll miss my 400hp 05' GTO, but I'm finally crossing over into the "supercar" world. To say I'm excited is an understatement. Canyon run here I come!

Just thought I'd drop a line here and say whats up. See you around!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

I'll post pics as soon as the transport truck arrives.

The car is a VR 2008 Z06. 18k miles. 540+ RWHP. built tranny, full suspension, some carbon body bits. After shoveling money into my 05' GTO, I wanted a car that was already modded. I can use the new ride as my base and "personalize" from there, and I've already got some ideas.

I'm just about dying to get my hands on it, should be in my driveway in a couple of weeks. Like I said, I CAN'T WAIT!!!
