I like Vettes. The closest I ever came to one was an Opal GT back in 1972. Not quite the same. Maybe one of these days before I'm too old to enjoy it.
Enjoy it. I'll be drooling in secret.

VERT NICE Wayne!
Did you make a stop by the Chevy dealer with the Vette? I thought about that, it would have been fun, but as the original owner didn't want to deal with them, and I was less than impressed by their actions, I haven't. Oh what the hell, yeah I'll be back there...

Wayne -
If you can drive it, drive it. I'd drive mine every day if I lived somewhere that I could, but I don't so it's not very often I get to go for a blast. (I just put the Z up on blocks for the winter yesterday.) I've researched tires quite a bit. I don't want to give up performance, but I would like a tire that's a bit more low temp and moisture friendly than the ones I have now (Nitto NT05's). At temps under 50F, or if there is any rain / moisture on the road, I have to be very careful or I'm leaving the road. My research has lead me to the Nitto Invo's. They have excellent performance ratings, but yet good performance at temps as cold as 35F and they perform well in the rain too. You might want to give them a look. If you are running the GY run-craps, anything you put on that car will be better. Another thing to be aware of is the wheel design. If you get an urge to buy aftermarket wheels, avoid three piece wheels, as they tend to hold water in the barrel and throw the balance off. Go with mono blocks as they shed water. I have a set of high dollar three piece wheels that make driving down right terrifying when it's raining.

Very nice. That red interior is eye catching!
I have the good fortune of my father in law owning a 2007 C6 convertible. I get to have the grins on occasion without the price! I liked vettes but was never a fan until I got to experience his. I was amazed how good it can be as a civilized commuter car if you can resist putting your foot down - but then be a beast the next second if you so choose.
Enjoy the new wheels!
