Default New member. first corvette

hello all,

New member. Just bought my first corvette. 2005 coupe with targa top. 64,500 miles.
Not sure what mods may or may not be on it, except there is a corsa exhaust no idea which one or if its axle or cat back. Havent checked it all out yet. doesnt appear to be any engine mods.
there is a sony head unit with remote that had been installed sometime in the past so I have to find out which one so I can get operating instructions. pretty intuitive but but given its input is bluetooth or USB and I find no USB port its pretty limited.
working on my list of to dos for buying a used car and searching the threads for all the pertinent data.
Very excited to be here.
