Default New corvette owner

Picked up my new to me 2010 yellow corvette with 12,168 miles last night. Haven't driven it much since last night but I finally made the jump from a 2003 cobra convertible.

i loved my mustang now I will love my vette.

hello from central nj.

Thanks everyone for the welcome !

What are the top shops in nj ? I know ecs is pretty close to me but are there any others to consider ? If this question isn't allowed I don't know but how do they compare price wise... people can PM me if that is allowed. I'm thinking possible cam upgrade at some point with tune.

Welcome Jesus. You might want to post up your question on top shops in NJ in either the C6 General or Tech section or in the Northeast Regional Section. Just remember that you can't post the same item in multiple sections, so choose which one you think would give you the best responses.

Congrats on the car!

I'm biased, but definitely put ECS at the top of your list. Doug, Chris, Alex and the rest of the crew are top notch.

p.s. I'm in the Bridgewater/Somerville area too.
