Default New Vette owner
Been a member on the forum for a while but thought I would finally post an intro thread now that I have a Corvette.

well I finally got a vette bought this for myself on my 21st birthday

A C5 ZO6 its an 02 with 34k miles on it and so far I love it.
Only mods I have done so far are valvesprings

heres some phone pics for now will wash it up and take more later.











Had an issue with the tumbler and couldnt turn the key so had to get a new one put in and had the dealer fix the column lock issue as well.

While it was at the shop I had them put some valvesprings in


reason - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-z...eage-pics.html

glad these are in dont have to worry anymore




At the shop






cruzn





Some glamour shots








Matt
