First Corvette

Hi everyone,

Excited to be part of the community here. I'm coming from the land of crowd control (Mustang) so I'm pretty pumped to be trying out something a little more refined. I drove a 2015 Mustang GT making around 750 hp so I think this will be a nice transition. I purchased a 2016 Z06 2LZ (artic white/red interior) and am currently waiting for it to be shipped from Oklahoma to Pennsylvania. I have lots to learn about the platform but it looks like I'm going to be knocking a few mods out quickly with an X-pipe, TB, CAI and headers. If anyone else came from the S550 Mustang platform, I'd love to hear your thoughts on making the switch. Thanks guys.

Corey

I appreciate all the kind words! Here's a few pictures of my Mustang and some pictures of my Corvette that just came off the truck after its 1100 mile journey here (it's absolutely filthy).
