Default Hello

Yes, I'm new to this forum and to Corvette ownership

I have 2005 vert with the A5. I know, everything you don't want with a C6, but is mine and I am enjoying it. It has had a few mods including body work and LS3 upgrade. I have added a few things myself since buying and took care of some mechanical issues that needed addressing.

I'm still figuring out what I have as there are minimal service records so let the adventure begin!

One thing you have is C7 wheels - they look great on the car. And you also have the A6 transmission. Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Congrats and nice colour choice. My 2006 is the same colour combo. If yours is a 2005 you have the A4 trans. The A6 came out in 2006.
