Default Newbie says hello

Well picked up my ZO today and I can say it is fun. I am from North Texas and not new to fast things

Second time Vette owner and just got rid of my last Lightning. Other cars in the stable include 07 Porsche Cayman S, 64 Coupe Deville, and 08 Sierra Denali.

This car is an 01 one putting 480 to the wheel. I look forward to learning all of the in and outs and meeting some of you at local events.

I road with the Possum Kingdom lunch crowd a couple months ago in the Porsche

Look forward to getting it on the dyno here in Texas and maybe having a little tuning done

Welcome Newbie Great choice, word of warning...if it has the original F1 supercars on it be careful, after a 4 - 5 years they get hard as stone and the car is downright dangerous. A new set of tires was the best investment I made, GY GS-D3's but there are many other great replacement tires. Have fun and be safe, the car is a handful at first but a blast to drive

Pics soon to follow having a camera malfunction this eve

Car runs great. As previously posted not new to fast things but this car has a certain attitude

On the lighter side towed it home behind the Denali in the car Hauler and drove it just a short bit and the ignition switch took a dump....... so after a little down time we are back on the road.

Thanks for the warm welcome this car hits like a sack of hammers and only I need a little seat time to be a little quicker
