Default My new to me 07 c6 z51

Hello all. Pretty new to the corvette world and I must say I love this car . It's an 07 z51. Has b&b bullets and a calloway honker cai. I just lowered it on stock bolts and added black c6z replicas in base size this weekend. I want to go a bit lower in the rear though and paint the halo black. I'm currently shopping around for an ecs or a&a kit. Here she is.

Nice buy! Just wondering how much did you pay for it? I'm in the market for a C6

I bought my fully loaded 07 z51, with a few mods, last year for $23k with 80k miles. I'm in the southeast.

You'll sit in your chair until you think of some BS reason to go somewhere, any thing will do as long as you can get behind the wheel of your Vette. Congrats on your new ride.

Nice looking ride congratulation and welcome to the group.

I also have an '07 Z51 optioned, 3LT with Nav, 6 disk CD changer in the rear compartment. I paid just over $30K 3 years ago. 11,000 miles, wide body kit, Z06 reproduction black chrome stock size in the front 12" in the rear with the 325/30/19's, CAI, ARH and hi-flow cats.

If you want the rear a little lower, cut one rib for each rear bushing.

Ya like some I come from the dragged out mustang world. While they're fun in a straight line they're not the most comfortable to drive around town. This thing I thoroughly enjoy driving even if it's to the store to get milk.

I paid on the high side imo. It was 29k and has 32k miles on it. I REALLY wanted white with cashmere interior and this combination was hard to find. I didn't want black interior since i live in the desert. It already had b&b exhaust, Calloway honker cai, and short throw shifter. Not a scratch or chip anywhere on the car. I could have saved some $$$ if i kept looking but I was willing to pay a bit more for the car I wanted.

first, OP get some black lugs bro... car looks great congrats!!

for above quoted, there is no highside. like you said hard to locate, exactly what you wanted, clean car. how much is that worth? this car is NOT an investment. it's a passion. people buying these cars with the expectation of "not losing" a significant amount on resale are dreaming lol...

I love the white, if the car is in the condition you wanted that makes it worth it. I paid more for mine too, but the condition to me along with miles are extremely important. You get what you pay for. Nice.

Not a fan of black wheels, but your set up looks cool. Enjoy the hell out of it.
