Hello all,

My name is Matt Wallace, I am from Spartanburg, SC and I am obviously new to CorvetteForum. I am the proud owner of a 2002 Electron Blue C5 Z06. I recently purchased the car about three weeks ago, and I'm loving it. The prior owner really took care of the car and it has been, without a doubt, garage kept the majority of its life. It currently has a Vararam Cold Air Intake, a MCW Short Shifter and a Borla Muffler Delete, which I hate and will be replacing as soon as possible.I am new to the Corvette game, but not cars in general. I am a gearhead and cars are definitely my vice; I've owned over 25, and have not left even one stock; I can't leave them alone, haha. I look forward to getting to know you all and I'm happy to be a part of the forum!

Welcome to the Forum, Matt, from up the road in Hickory, NC!
Congratulations on your nice C6Z!
Good chance our paths may cross along the way. We attend some charity events in the southern NC, northern SC area each year. Had expected to hit a few by now this year before the virus grounded us all.
