Default First Corvette Colorado

Good morning,

I bought my first Corvette about 3 weeks ago. It's a 2011 m6 with only 24k miles. Nothing fancy, but extremely fun. I have been browsing the forum since I got the car and there is tons of useful info here. Great forum with knowledgeable members. Plans for my car at the moment are, cai, headers, cam and tune. Maybe eventually ill do heads, just shooting for a 450-500 whp street car. The cam im looking at is the g6x3, but may do a custom grind, not real sure... Anyway, I look forward to talking to you all and following your builds!

I also just purchased my first Vette a couple of weeks ago. It is a 1982 Coupe with 24K miles as well. I love it. Looking forward to this group. I have learned alot already.

It just seems to me that a person shouldn't buy so much Corvette ... compared to their means, overall ... that they are not able to AFFORD A CAMERA !!!
Where are the pics??? Thread is a LOT LESS valuable without THE PICTURES of your Corvette. Sheesh ...

Hmm, I figured we all knew what a stock black c6 looked like? Camera is totally fine as well, no problem dropping bills for me.
