Default New guy...

Hello,

Joined the forum, intend to purchase a C5 Z06 or C6 base in a month or so when I head out to Cali. Just going to read up on a bunch of stuff to help me decide what to get. I am leaning towards the Z06 as it'll be just a fun car to drive and not a main DD. Plan to keep it N/A, do some cam's, headers, intake, and lighten it up a bit. The car will see drag strip time, and hopefully full track time as well.

I'm not new to the power, my previous car, a diesel 3 series, ran low 12's at 114mph so the Vette is about the same level stock.

Welcome to the Forum, Matt!
Reading up on the models you're interested in is a great approach. The C5 and C6 sections have some good stickies in the General sections (especially the C5 General).
Best wishes and share some photos once you find the Corvette right for you.
Thanks for your service.
