Thanks to everyone! I love everything about her, but I can't mod too much since she's still under warranty; but when the warranty goes...oh yea!!!

I like xs.to (It's not "www.xs.to", it's just "xs.to". Wierd, I know) hosting.

All you do is upload them there, then copy the "direct link" (it's the last line of code at the bottom) and paste it into a post. Then type [ img ] at the beginning and [ /img ] at the end, without the spaces. It will show up. Takes less than 10 seconds after you get used to it.

Congrats, nice first Vette. I have 6,000 miles on my car and check my sig...LOL! I bought it in March of 04, so it is obviuosly not my daily driver. I had MTI do all of the work, so I have a one year warranty through them...works for me.

congrats... I am a new Z06 owner myself. I just picked up an 02 EB and it will be lightly modded soon

I had an 04 Cobra prior and this car is just so much more enjoyable to drive. The power and comfort go well together.


BTW : if you don't have an induction we have the Blackwing on sale CHEAP !

yea, there she is...these pics are not good, I'll post some better ones this weekend. BTW, looking for CAI. Will I get much more benefit from any of the typical CAI VS. the zip tie mod???

Thanks in advance!
