Default New to Corvettes

I'm new to the forum and new to Corvettes. This is my first Corvette C6 2013, I've been wanting a vette for a long time and i'm blessed to be able to have one as a toy and not my daily driver (yes the Camaro is mine too but thats my daily). My first mod is to get rid of the stock stereo HU, i'm sure other mods will come in time.

Beautiful car! Welcome to Corvette ownership and the forums.

I'd love to hear your opinion on the Corvette vs. Camaro after you've had it for a while.

Welcome to the best forum for Corvette owners. Congratulations on achieving a goal we all have dreamed of at some point in our lives. I changed out my head unit in my 2013 GS and purchased everything from Crutchfield. I used a Kenwood dnx893s with front and rear cameras . The models change quickly so my one year old unit has been replaced by another model already. They offer great support. again congratulations and let the mods begin By the way good choice of color.

Just remember if you put black wheels on the vette you are not allowed back on the forum...

Congrats and welcome. Very nice GS. I just put in a Kenwood Excelon and love it. Camera picture is very nice. Crutch field is an awesome company.

Certainly meant no disrespect. I was commenting on Bruno's "Nice GS" statement.

Welcome to the C6 area, and congrats. on the great looking C6 coupe!

Camaro isn't too shabby of a daily driver either...…….

don't worry about the black wheel comment...……….

personalize it, make it yours, and enjoy it as it was meant to be

Is there a wave thing with Corvettes too...LOL
My other passion is Jeeps and of course we have a Jeep wave (almost mandatory for owning a Jeep). I help run our local Jeep club. I guess i'll just start waving at everyone no matter what vehicle i drive...haha

Welcome to the forum & congrats on the 'Vette ! I bet the visibility is not really good in the Camaro, compared to the Corvette.

So true. Nobody will see you in a Camaro. Everyone will see you in a Vette.
