New member intro
Hello, I just joined these forums yesterday as I was on the hunt for information and found something great here.
Last week I finally picked up a 2017 Corvette Z06 Coupe 2LZ - Black, black rims and black interior. Manual transmission :-D
Long story short, I have been eyeing them for about two years.....just eyeing them. Been having a serious issue with wanting the driving experience again, manual transmission.
It has been a long time since I had been REALLY excited about a car to own and this one just slapped me silly. I would say I love cars but do not breathe cars nor eat off a hood at night. I do have another car I love because of nostalgia, 1983 Hurst Olds that my father owned when I got my license. I am currently putting this back together after a full body and engine rebuild.
I hope to find great info here, maybe even some new friends.

Welcome to the Forum!
Wishing you many smiles in many miles with your C7Z!
Sounds like you'll stay busy between the Vette and restoring your Hurst Olds.
