Default Hello from France

Hello guys,

I'm French and i have 26, live in Paris.

I have just buy a Black Z06, year 2006.

I have never test one before to buy it, but all peoples (press, dealers, pilote,...) say many good of this car.
In France the price more of USA (90 K€ new), but very cheap than a F430 (200 K€).

I'm really enjoy to have it ! the first impression was incredible ! The only one problem is i have command new tyres for the rear (old are full used...) but in France all center cant up big tyres as 285 !!!!

This forum is full of information ! and i really need it because we have not many corvette in France. All european people knows old corvette (bad brakes, bad trivetrain), and doesnt know the Z06 is a really good weapon against Porsche & Ferrari.
So the problem is we have not many dealers, or owners, or customs dealers (tuning parts, racing parts,...)

The clearcoat is not very good condition, but i will detail her asap with Zaino, Meguiars, and Wolfgang ! and Zymol for the protection !

For the moment she is stock (no modif parts), just a exhaust by pass, and smoked side lights

Few photos :





For the moment i dont sure of what i want to do in modification...

Maybe a Vararam and a dyno first. For exhaust parts it's very difficult in France, because we cant do many noise (police hate)? but maybe just headers...

For esthetics, i'm very interested by H&R P40 monoblocks Wheels ! in dark bronze for my black Z06 and the front carbon ZR1 spoiler.

We can see it on Katech post : http://forums.corvetteforum.com/whee...0-p43-p47.html

Perfomance brake pads and goodridge stainless steel too !

Julien.

Default Bonjour

Bonjour Julien & Congratulations on your new Corvette & Welcome to the Forum! I've vacationed in France many times (The Alsace, Beaune Area, Arles, Provence, the Dordogne, the Loire, Nice, Normandy, Brittany, and of course Paris - you have a beautiful country with many winding roads to drive your new Corvette on.

There are 83 other Corvette Forum members in France! I did an advanced search by country at this Forum URL: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/members/list/

You might want to look some of them up. This is a great Forum & you will learn a lot about your Corvette here.
