Default Bought my first Corvette

Well I bought my first Corvette. I haven't driven a car in a long while... previous vehicle was a Ram 3500 turbo diesel with a lift kit and big tires... and I had a H2 before that. So this is a huge change. I love this car.

You did it up right for your first Corvette - a GS, white with red interior.

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Default Loving it

So I'm just loving my new car... wow... now I finally see what it is about the "Corvette Guys" haha... now I understand

Not only am I hooked, but I want to figure out how to make it sound better... so it has the ability to select the different modes which changes the sound... is it possible to get a new exhaust that can be obnoxious when I'm out playing around.. and then I can switch modes and its quite when I have the wife in the car or I'm in the neighborhood?
