Hey, What's up ?
Hello !
Just picked up my 1st Corvette last weekend. It is a Victory Red '08 Base 3LT . (Preferred Equipment Package, includes Magnetic Ride Control, auto trans)
I traded in my '11 Mustang GT (non premium), which I had since I ordered it new back in 2010. I loved the 5.0 Coyote motor
, but the past year or so, I was wanting something different because I was disappointed not having features that newer Mustangs had.
Prior to the '11 Mustang, I had 3 other Mustangs, 2 Camaros & 2 Firebirds (RIP Pontiac
) over the years, so I'm absolutely not a stranger to performance cars !
There are little things that bother me about my 'vette, but as a whole, I'm quite happy.
I know it has only been a week, but I'm in love with the Corvette, (always loved Corvettes) best car ever !! Hope to learn more on the site & hopefully meet some cool people !
