New guy here
Happy New Year everyone. Just joined and this is my first post. I am a retired Highway Contractor and bought a 2016 Z06 a little over 2 years ago. Since purchasing it I have installed a CAI, ported throttle body, long tube headers, 18% IW lower pulley and LG tune. This is my second Corvette. In 69 I owned a 67 427 435. One of the biggest mistakes in my life was selling it but that is a story too long for this intro. I live in Southeast Kansas about 120 miles south of Kansas City. My other hobby is riding Big Dog Motorcycles.Years ago a raced a Pro Modified 63 Corvette and a Alcohol Funny Car. My Z06 with A8 has been a perfect car so far. I have 25,000 miles on it and it's never been in for repairs, only scheduled maintenance. I thourghly enjoy this forum. I have learned a lot about C7s since I found it. I hope someday I can be a contributor instead of a taker.

Welcome to the Forum, Roger, and congratulations on your Z06!
Nice to see you already have 25,000 miles on your Vette - They are meant to drive!
