Default Newbie from Tulsa

First corvette... always wanted one, finally just did it. Had imports my whole life... raised with Hondas and Toyotas. Had a Supra, Miata, Civic, CRX, Tacoma, Suzuki Samurai... but now I have a C6 and a '72 C20(335hp MerCruiser MPFI sbc).... my dad is still wondering where he went wrong. Hah.


07 Base A6 with 48k as stock as can be.

First thing I did was get a Diablosport Trinity to improve shifting.

There might be a CAI and headers in the garage already.

Enjoying every minute of it. Learning to deal with little squeaks and rattles.... as my screen name implies, I am not used to poor quality interiors.

Look forward to being around the forum more.

(sorry about terrible pic, but its a stock black base c6... who hasnt seen one)

importcars,

Welcome to the forum and what an awesome looking 'Vette! Have those compliments started reeling in?

I like seeing Chevrolet reps on the forum. It shows you that Chevrolet is listening and here to help.


Speaking of compliments, I have never had something that is so universally liked.
My Supra, Civic, and Miata all had followings... and, in their little groups they are liked and receive compliments... but this gets either the 'thats a good looking car' look or the 'that must be his dad's car' look from everyone. No one looks at you crossed when driving through nice portions of town, and it breaks necks when you drive through a trailer park. haha

Just tonight on the way home I passed a STI on the highway. He had to blow-off next to me. I am now on the receiving side of that... before I was the one blowing-off. Kids. haha


I appreciate the warm welcome, everyone!

Thanks
Adam Z
