Been lurking for a while!
Hey guys,
Name's Lev. Originally from New York and currently stationed in Phoenix, active duty. Bought my first corvette here after I totaled my srt4. What a big step up that was. Kinda miss boost but having instant torque and power is so satisfying. So totaled the srt and went and bought myself an 01 Z06, black with torch red interior with just around 50k on the clock. Love the car. Bone stock save for an intake and some huge magnaflow mufflers. About a month after purchasing the car, a flash flood hit at work and I hydrolocked. It ended up blowing a hole in my block. Insurance covered it and I got another LS6 put in with around 35k on it. Clean motor.
Compared to the forums for my old car, the activity level and overrall level of knowledge here is amazing. Seems like a great community and I'm happy to be a part of it.
Thanks everyone!
