Default My new to me C6...

I picked up this 3LT Z51 C6 about a month ago after selling my C5Z over a year ago. I was invited to go to Sebring International Raceway to drive the new Porsche 911 and decided to snap a few pics while I was down there. The weather wasn't great but the rain held out long enough to snap some pics and do some hot laps. Don't mind the blue tape, I ordered a GM Bra for the trip but it didn't make it in time.

Looking at the sky I would had advised you driving a Porsche 911 in the rain in far safer than driving a "Z51" optioned C6.

Very nice. That sky looks menacing though.

Beautiful Vette, but black is the best color.

Great pics! Already getting fired up for the Twelve-Hour next Spring. About as much fun as you can have at a road race with your clothes on.

Did you get a chance to track the Vette? By the way, nice backgrounds on the pics too!

I wish, no track time this trip, it was a Porsche corporate event so we were only allowed to drive corporate owned cars on the track.

Oh the humanity of it all, you po' soul.

Beautiful.
Owned a TR '06 Z51, myself. Came from a '03 AE making the experience all the more sweeter.

Ever get a chance try a LS-7 don't hesitate, be impressed all over again. These C6 cars have so much to offer to car lovers.

Congrats!

Would you ever go back to a C5Z after having a C6?
