the corvette world is surely lacking.

Hey all it's been a while. had to drop back by and say hello again after selling the z, a few of you may remember me picking up a burnt orange corvette shortly after. long story short, the car is very fast, but quite a bit heavier in the corners (also the turning radius, while not bad, is complete shite compared to a z) however i was compensated for this by buying a car pre-fit with a Corsa exhaust which might as well have well been modeled after the singing of angles attached to that big v8, love it!! also the car is so low it might as well be used to bulldoze debris off of anything other than pristine tarmac. other than that the aftermarket is very very good (read: I'm finally doing all the mods i said i was going to do on the z)

caliper paint!

However great the aftermarket is for the vette is, can't compensate for the corvette community. if you pick up any sort of part you might be unfamiliar with, you might as well figure it out on your own. unless you can find a thread about it already posted on their forum. i'm not really trying to complain here, i just miss you guys! nothing will ever beat the community here. (anybody in oklahoma want to do a car meet soon??) i've bought a car outside my age group apparently. moving on, the corvette has settled well with me :driving:

i've now broken 100k miles in it. (note: my friend there is the only "Z" i get to hang around anymore)

And lastly, i've got a list of mods i was that's probably worth about 35k USD if not more. (the bug came with me) :rofl:

Nice car! I'm one of the rare owners of a Corvette here in the UK, I love mine!

Looks like you have a C6 and put a Z06 wings (fenders) and wheels on? Looks great and fantastic colour. I had a C6 for a while then got a Z06, I noticed the Z06 is much more nimble and planted compared to the C6. I tried a Corsa exhaust too, the drone in the cabin was terrible so soon got rid of that one!
I can't help with the constant scraping..I had mine lowered and made things worse...but live with it due to the looks.

I find this community where a friendly and very helpful bunch:

Also the guys in Pistonheads Corvette forum too.
