Good Morning!
Thank you to everyone for the nice welcome! I am enjoying the Vette and using it for my daily driver. I do wish it had more down low torque though... LOL (like not needing to get it up over 3500RPM first when rolling around 30 MPH. But guess I need to start doing the "drop a gear and disappear" thing more, but well.... I am lazy too) thinking about a throttle controller (not sure exactly what those are called) maybe? would prefer to stay stock. With this car I just love the sound of the V8 and the Corsa Extreme exhaust! Cannot wait for warmer weather and windows down! and overall do love the C6 with the looks and the amount one can carry in the back! all good!
Happy motoring!
Holly
