New Z06 Owner
Hello all in vette world. I'm new to the corvette world just picked up my 1st vette, 06 Z06 Silver 4200 miles on her! I come from a muscle car back ground but never owned a vette before. Just sold my pro street 70 Chevelle. I'm ready for the change.
Any advice you guys can give me is much appreciated!

Nice Z! Owned my 06 Z for almost 6 years with
just routine maintenance. Moved up to a 2011 Z over a year ago. My 06 had over 45k miles on it including a few track days & autocross. I never modded or addressed the heads because it was under warranty. Great car so I bought a newer one. Enjoy it!

Congrats on getting a fine looking C6 Z and welcome to the forum.
I'd recommend you spend a lot of time in the various C6 sections - some great info over there.
