Getting into the Vette life
Hi from NJ, First time on the forums, decided I'd make an account since I end up finding solutions to my research and stuff here via google links. Loved C6s since the mid 2000s back when I was in middle school. Now I'm in a position where I can put together my own C6 Z06. Plan on seriously buying one within 6-12 months for sure. Pretty much plan on doing everything to it (heads, cams, headers, wheels, cosmetics, lights, etc) except for any forced induction stuff. Saving that for later because I want to experience the car N/A first for a little bit and then mess around with it afterwards. Only thing I'm still trying to figure out is the actual tire size I can fit. Plan on getting 19s in the front and 20s in the rear (let me know if that's good or not). Need some suggestions on lower profile (not runflats or super thin) tires that are wide that are super sticky. Thanks. Definitely going to post stuff here once I acquire everything.
