Hello all, I have wanted a corvette since the early 80s and finally pulled the trigger on a 19 Z06... love the car wish I had purchased years ago... Been trolling the site for a few days learning what “safe” effective mods to do for a car with warranty... just got through my500 mile break in and now ready to play... haha
