Default new guy here from mass

hey guys. bought my first corvette a couple months ago. been browsing since i got it, but figured id actually introduce myself in this section. its a 2000 NBM 6speed coupe. i had a 99 Z28 before this that i miss, but this is a huge step up, even tho its about 120horse short..for now, lol. its got a corsa exhaust on it from when i bought it, and ive put in a vararam, a pro5.0 shifter, and had slowhawk tune it. he'll be the guy in charge of the head/cam swap we'll be doing in a month or 2, so i cant wait for that. here's a few pics of the car, looking foward to meeting a bunch of you come spring time.

Nice ride and welcome. Just a heads up, sanity does not always prevail here, so take nothing personnally or even as fact. P.S. keep your wife/girlfriend away from George.

Welcome, this is the only forum where the preacher and the DVL hang out together (it's kind of an undeclared truce)...
Oh, maybe you need to meet the DVL before that makes any sense.

Sweet Ride!!

But be warned......this is the Corvette Mafia, once you're in.....you're in for LIFE!!

We'll make sure you get out there and enjoy that new toy! Once spring hits, there are events nearly every weekend. A bunch of us are going to the track in April and May.......check out the HPDE thread in this section.


Oh and welcome!!

Kudos to the previous owner of that beautiful 'vette. A very nice example of a 7 year old ride.

Maybe The President will consider a run or two up your way this coming season. There are some great roads up your way.

Welcome to the NE crew. We are addictive.
