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.

Thanks y'all. Looking forward to having fun with my first Vette. I will be busy with questions soon enough, after I do a search first of course

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.
