While I am not a huge fan of corvettes.

Congratulations and hope you have many years of enjoyment with your new toy.

It needs a red light in the grill that moves back and forth continuously.

Looks great, GE

Who's the joker who tracked mud into your new ride?  I've been a Vette guy since I was old enough to know.

I am savin up atm for some o' those C6 Z06 rims in chrome :)

Will be my first 'mod' .. rears are gonna be 18" x 11" if I can do the deed ..it really needs more traction .. already :)

-GE (I've read that 12" wide requires a widened tub kit available or fender flare )

Fender flares are gettin hard to come by I heard.  I'd like to have 12's... my 17X11's spin all the way  through 1st, 2nd and well into  3rd if I'm WOT.  I am gonna get some DR's.. you?

Agreed. Corvette hasnt been a Corvette since the 60s

Peronslly I havnet liked a single model thats come out since then.
And I HATED the Stingray of the 70's

yassir .. Drag Radials for Speedworld fun for sure.

http://www.speedworldracewaypark.com

Tuff to be consistent if the back tires spin.
The Summit Bracket Racing series should be a blast :)
I like the fact that NHRA makes the brackets a wide range now, instead of bein 1 second apart like they useda be.

I plan on runnin in the Pro bracket .. not much into electronic controls, rather do it myself ..and any mods I make I will still be in the Pro bracket :)

First time I ever draged race was there :eek:
It was 2 years ago, drove from L.A. just for that, it was with the Carcraft/Hotrod Anti Tour crew. Learned :how to" by Freiburger himself. Brings memories.:)

Yassir .. I remember the list of options havin to do with just how *fast* you wanted to go .. and not much else :)

"Oh .. you wanna listen to music? ..here, try the Side Exhaust option. If that aint music I don't know why yer lookin at this car sonny."

Dred .. have you driven a C5 (just curious) .. cause .. they're fast again .. and they corner so hard it hurts :) (and .. you can bolt on stuff to make 'em entirely capable of eatin them 427 '67's for a lite snack)

-GE (just sayin, tm Pasha)

Mods.... ya baby!  My   C4 will chew that 67 427 into shredded pieces at the strip or on a road course. Wheeeeeee!
I sure love the way the c2's looked though.. awesome.
Pick a stock vette.. any year, any badge... get a glimpse of my tail lights diminishing in the distance. Hehehehe.

Neighbor down the street growing up had the same Vette, but in Metallic Brown.   He'd SMOKE (not just a chirp) the tires in all 4 gears.   I've never a car do that to this date (but that vette).
