Default Greetings from North Louisiana

I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months, so I figured I'd register! I'm interested in doing some group rides and making some upgrades to my GS. The C6 roof panel squeak was what initially brought me to the forums and it's amazing what a little bit of lube can do! I must be getting old because I'm getting a lot of satisfaction from detailing my car. This is a completely new world to me.

I picked up my first Corvette recently. She's a torch red 2010 Grand Sport. I'm switching out the wheels to the ZR1-width wheels in black, so I'll be needing to sell my stock aluminum wheels and pilot sport tires soon. The stock splitter is kind of thrashed and I obsess over it when I'm detailing my car, so I'll be switching that out to a ZR1 style ABS plastic splitter and I'll be changing the stock spoiler to the extended ZR1 style in gloss black from C7 carbon. Also, I'm really interested in getting my calipers painted torch red or powder coated. This corvette is my daily driver, so I don't know how or when I would make that work...



My first planned performance upgrade is the cam and headers package from 21st Century Muscle Cars in Texas. I'm hoping I can get that done within the next month or so! I was thinking about just going straight supercharger and cam and headers all at once, but I figure I should learn to drive with more horsepower, incrementally.

I don't know what I don't know, so any advice is always welcome!

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum, Cole, and congratulations on your C6 GS!
You'll find lots of great members and helpful info in the C6 section of the forum at: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/.
There are general and tech areas as well as a specific area on forced induction that may help you as you decide on what parts to add.
Best wishes

Congratulations on the that beautiful Grand Sport.

John @ 21st Century Muscle Cars built one of my personal early C6's and did a stellar job.

Enjoy the forum.

Thanks guys! I've got a bunch of little things in the works. I'm completely obsessed with this car.

I've got an appointment set for June 22nd with 21st Century Muscle Cars. This car is so much fun.
