Default My New Grand Sport Has Landed Hello C6 =)

While I have been hanging out here in C6Gen for a bit---it's official!!!! The day finally came when my New Grand Sport Vert Arrived last night Torch Red/Ebony/Black 3LT/NPP/Chromes

HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't drive that far because we got caught in a down pour =( Once he comes back from detailing I will test him out later today

The changes in how he rides and handles compared to my C5 is amazing Acceleration test later today This is my first Vert. Won't miss dealing with that heavy Targa!

Now I need a new Forum Name

A few pics as I part with my C5- Will get better ones later this week.
It is suppose to be a "surprise" for our Crew Meet Up tomorrow but I can't contain my Excitement Let's see how many of them are over in C6 and figure it out

Congrats Deb

Welcome to the C6 side of the Forum.

I think your friends on the C5 side are going to figure out your little secret base on the pic in your Avatar.

Congratulations!!!

I have the same, kind of sad photo, with my Victory Red 2001 Camaro SS, sitting next to my new, Victory Red '08 coupe, at the dealership, the day I bought, and I drove my new Vette home.

I love your new GS, it looks great.

This is my 3rd Red Vette

I would LOVE to do it myself, but I need a hip replacement soon and moving/bending is next to impossible
He's in far better hands! I usually make a mess

Why would you detail a brand new car? Dont they wax it for you at the dealership? I was under the impression not to mess with the paint for a month.
