Default Hello from Austin TX
hey guys! New to forum Just picked up a one owner 40k mile 2008 z06 yesterday! I have been out of corvettes for 7 years or so. Last one I had was a 2004 my senior year of high school.
she runs like a champ! I think there might be a slight exhaust leak on it, I am in sales at a Chevy dealership here in Austin so I am going to have service check that out for me today. Also wife is finance director there so going to look in to the GMPP for it.





Well any ways. Here she is.
