Default My first Corvette

Hey,

Just wanted to say hello to everyone in the community. I'll be honest I don't know anything about the "feel" of vettes. However, I purchased an '08 C6 yesterday that I'm picking up on Monday morning. Hope the car is as fun as you guys say it is. I purchased a halltech intake system already and will put it on as soon as it comes in.

I've had my share of fast cars. 425whp '04 350Z, 348awhp '06 STI, and 156whp '06 R1. I hope I an increase some serious numbers with this car. My first taste at american muscle. Hope you guys are right...haha!!

It seems to be a rule that I must wave to everyone with a vette. I'll continue in that tradition.

Take Care,

Zeus

Congratulations on your new ride. I see you are from Virginia, keep an eye out here for a gathering or event that interests you and come on out. I'm looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car.
