Hey guys,

Just picked up my first vette, formerly a GTO owner. What a difference between the two...I can't stop driving this car. Although the GTO had a nice ride and some power, I did have some work done, it just doesn't compare. The Z06 is a ton faster, handles better, and still rides smooth. Chevy definitely knew what they were doing when they put this car together. It's a 2004 frc z06 with a novi supercharger and some other goodies. What a ride!!

I'm from Dutchess, NY, is there anyone else in the area?

Anyways, just stopping in to say hi.

-Mike

Just wait till you go on a few NE Wolfpack events and see what the vette can really do!! There's a huge group of us in the NYC/LI/Westchester and Jersey/CT area that get together regularly for fun events. Keep checking this section and look for threads marked [EVENT] in the title and come join us.

I absolutely intend to! I'll be sure to keep an eye on the EVENT threads.

And we like pictures.
I'll try and get some up soon, maybe this weekend.
