Hi everyone. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from this community. I've loved the Corvette since my cousin bought one back when I was six, and am finally in a position to get my own dream car. I'm hoping to pick up a Laguna Blue Z06 with an auto trans and the Z07 and upgraded aero packages sometime within the next 6-8 months. I already have a short list of mods, some beneficial, mostly cosmetic, that I plan to implement, because I'm still a 9-year-old boy at heart. It's going to be a fun journey.

Thanks. BTW, how can I get the "Veteran" badge like the one you have? I'm an Army Desert Storm (combat) veteran.

All of you, thank you for the welcome. I appreciate the support for my search for my car (there seem to be a few good candidates in the for-sale section).

In the meantime, is there a section of the forum for discussing the big aftermarket builders like Lingenfelter and Callaway?
