Going to take some getting used to, much different car than the Shelby and previous Fords I have owned, but really enjoying this car. The Weather is not cooperating right now, but I will get her out soon to stretch her legs. :flag: Just picked the car up this morning.

Pictures dont do this color or car justice, color is amazing.

Appreciate the welcome.

Is there anything I should know about the vehicle? Any must do performance modifications? Noises to listen for? Where do most of you purchase your Exterior, Interior, and performance parts?

I had a 2011 GT and 07 Z06 at same time. Both great cars but can not compare to each other. Sold both got 2013 Z06 60th anniversary ed.

Depending what you like the Z06 gives you feel of the road and much more control?

Please don't make it a garage Queen, drive it!

Grabber07' 02-25-2013 07:30 PM

She is definitely going to be a driver and you are correct, two COMPLETELY different rides. Both are enjoyable in very different ways and the corvette definitely makes me feel more in control.
