Hey everyone, new guy on the block brought here after a pretty fun ride in a buddies c7 z06. Not looking for a c7 though, trying to scrape up a c8.

Currently no corvette here... I tend to cycle through fun cars every couple of years. Some notable ones were my built up WRX, and my current fun car, my Mustang GT MT. Still on the edge if im going to build that or get a c8... Other than that I'm a big 2 wheel guy too. Got a gsxr 600 strictly for track use and a 2019 ZX10R that's my go to street guy and occasional track guy. Got a Yamaha banshee lurking around here too.... really if it's got wheels, makes me laugh when I mash it and sounds good I'm with it! Love poking around here and checking out other builds people have done with corvettes, not really sure why but I never even considered a corvette in the past, no idea why I waited this long.

Well, considering none of these photos were of corvettes on a corvette forum I guess there is still hope. Welcome

Yeah... no corvette yet like I had mentioned, looking to get one, dead set on a c8 though, trying to discuss options with Ciocca and Mac Mulkin, really considering putting a deposit on a z06 and just letting it ride till I get the call. Time will tell though.

Welcome to the Forum!
A C8 Z06 should definitely fit your “got wheels, makes me laugh, and sounds good” criteria.
