Default First vette, 2008 Base

Grettings all,

I just purchased my first vette about a week ago. I am in the Atlanta area, specifically Mcdonough GA. The car is a z51 package that was previously built by MTI racing making 483rwhp.

Looking forward to seeing if there is anyone else in the area!

(I apologize in advance for the lack of good pictures)

Great looking car, I have always loved the burnt orange. I saw your post in the "what did you do to your Vette?" and noticed you are in McDonough. I am in Newnan and just also bought a 2008 base, and mine makes almost the same power too! I was actually in McDonough yesterday, had to run by Summit Racing. Maybe we'll see you around sometime!

Congrats on the car! It really is a small world. I work about a mile from summit on 155, so i spend a lot of time there.

Hopefully so! I am always wanting to meet up with people that share the love for cars. From the way it looks on here there are a good amount of people from the forum in our area.
