Default New from Houston

I recently added an Electron blue C5z06 to my stable. I am new to corvettes but not the lSx game. We have several cars and this one is by far the most fun stock for stock. It won't be stock for too long though! A buddy of mine referred me to this forum...

this is the only picture I have so far. Planning to install a set of headers/tune for now and get a cam kit put together. I want to put a healthy camshaft in it for now and it should keep me grinning a little longer.

and there is nothing wrong with that.
check a few of the clubs out and see if they offer anything you'd be interested in. Several of the clubs host runs to various areas. There's one coming up of several clubs meeting up in Austin for dinner at the Oasis.

BTW, you DID see the car in my avatar?? We've both had it out on the track and my husband has had years of racing experience.

thats good info. Glad to see another couple that races. My wife currently holds the female G8 record in the country. She recently had the stock bottom end let go. We both have multiple cars and race regularly. She daily drives a BMW 135i now while we are building her 388ci F1X setup for the G8.

The C5z06 is my 4th vehicle and just a weekend cruiser.
