Good afternoon. My name is Ranger and Im here to introduce myself and more importantly, the Corvette (cause thats why were here). I am in the Houston, TX area and just became the owner of a 2019 C7 Z06. Im here to figure how to be the best damn vette owner I can be and also to get the best out of my new ride.

Enough about me. My car is named the Tx Tigger and its a Sebring Orange Z06 coupe 1LZ. I bought it not too long ago after test driving a C8 and not being a big fan of it (yet). No mods to the car other than adding the ACS Composite Stage 2 Aero Pack and ceramic coating on the paint.

Planned mods are CAI, Exhaust, X-Pipe, and possibly headers.

Nice to meet yall and look forward to getting to know some folks.

Welcome to the Forum, Ranger, and congratulations on your sharp C7 Z06!
Our son spent about 15 years with 3/75, so it's possible your paths crossed along the way.
Thank you for your military service!
