Hey all, new guy here and new to owning a corvette. I recently purchased a 2007 base model red conv with the 6.0L. Prior car was a 2000 z28 with a 6 speed M and 305hp. The vette is bone stock 6 speed A. im getting used to the shift paddles. It is very interesting to shift with them. From what I have read and seen the ls2 is supposed to have 400hp/ 400tq. Im still getting used to the car but I really enjoy putting the top down. As soon as I figure out how to load pics on here I will. Thanks all.

Thank you. Being new to the vette world I've noticed many other cars want to run on the streets. I was used to that with my Camaro, but it seems more with the vette. Can the vette hang with other cars out there like the mustangs etc?
