Hello from New Zealand
Hello team,
I've been a life long Corvette fan. Had Corvette toys as a kid (back in the 70's and 80's).
My personal favourites in the Corvette range are the split window Stingray, late 70's to early 80's Vettes and anything built about 98 on.
I don't own a Corvette myself but have been lurking on and off on this forum for a while so i thought i'd create an account and say hello.
I own a 2007 E1 HSV GTS manual in red and love it. From factory these cars produced about 400hp at the crank but with a few bolt on mods i am now running in the 450 to 460hp range.
Cheers
Steve

Hi team, thought i'd give a little update on my wannbe Corvette 
Recently fitted a Harrop HTV1900 supercharger with a resulting 660hp at the crank. Tuner tells me there is another 100hp to found reasonably easily but i wont be going any further with engine purformance.
Now it is time to make her look pretty. Next week she's in the shop to get her wheels pained semi gloss black and brake calipers repainted red as they currently look very faded.
Been lurking on the forum for the last few weeks reading up everyones threads and getting some ideas for my GTS
