Default Sick HP Has A New Garage Mate

This has been along time in the works for the wife and myself. It really started this May when I went to the ZR1 Cruise Inn and visited the factory. At the end of the tour my good buddy GotJuice (Arnold) spotted what looked like some new Vettes in other than 08 Colors. Sure enough we got an early glimpse of the new Cyber Gray's as they had 2 on the maintenance area for repairs So instead of most of the C6 General Crowd, I kept my C5 as it is a blast to drive, just not on a daily basis, so we got me a DD

My lonely C5 was wanting company several of Sick HP



Some of our wonderful Museum Delivery of the latest Cyber Gray Coupe






No we have a Corvette that will not scare the wife and it will allow some more mods to Sick HP

That is a great way to put it and I have not been hammering away yet, put 100 miles on her today. I do notice this new car is quiet and I have not hit my air dam like I do at times going down the road in my C5

Dennis, Thanks and the first mod is some splash guards that I put on before we left the factory area, got 1000 mile ride home yet

Power mods will be dormant for the DD, but Sick HP, going in for some more power this winter

I saw that color at Carlisle, and I must say, it is the ONLY gray color I'd consider on ANY car.

Got some anti Nouman mods planned, bling under the hood and when they come out with aftermarket ZR1 Rims I will be getting those and then onto the interior for a few touches and when I get home tint is first up on the agenda, thanks for the cudos and what did Lori say you need to buy her one now
