Default Hello all

Hello all. I just as of Saturday purchased my first Corvette. Its rather basic as a 2010 GS with Paxton SC in Cyber Gray Metallic. First thing I had to do was give it a proper detail as it looks like the previous owner went to the car wash with it.
I come from a background of bikes (currently have 5 ) and road racing. So I'm not a stranger to speed and cornering. I traded in what was and is an awesome supercharged Chrysler 300C. 100,000 miles of totally trouble free miles and actually was very depressed after the deal. This morning I decided to alleviate that depression. Quickly fading as even though my C was fast and smooth-this thing is a beast. Now I understand
The only real complaint I could say is the exhaust -which has been changed to something I have no idea of-drones pretty bad at low rev's but sounds real sweet under throttle. I know that East Coast Supercharging did the work so I will see if they can assist as the previous owner left no records of the work.
I've spent years painting and detailing -so I hope I can bring something to the table.Looking forward to my time here
