Default Finally a Vette owner

Hey guys my name is Matt, I'm 24 from NJ and I finally purchased my first corvette. It's a 2008 atomic orange z06. It currently has 3,500 miles on it. I'm in love with the car. Going to be slowly modifying it to make it my own.

Congrats Matt, perfect color, great mileage, and great model [Z06]. Just for your info their's a lot of talk about the heads on the Z06, you might want to start their on your mods. Happy motoring you'll love the car.

Thanks everybody. Al Green, what do you mean by a lot of talk about the heads? Problems with the heads or just mods to the top end?
