New to me C6
Hello all,
Waiting for my new to me 2008 C6 to arrive from sunny Miami. Bought this silver beauty sight unseen so my tension is high until it shows up and all checks out. Any common issues I need to look for? This is my first Vette but I have owned a Viper and several old school hot rods so working on cars is nothing new. My first to do list is short, lower it and install a Diablosport tune.

I am a DIY'er, so doing all of these things myself not only helped me save $$$, but it gave me a chance to spend time with the vette getting to know it a lot better looking things over etc. Other than an annual oil change, I won't need to worry about the filters for awhile. I have never regretted buying the car, as it has been a great car.

Nice! Glad to see so many folks new like myself. I would have had to fly there and follow the trailer home. Lol

My wife was nice enough to make the trip with me. We hit the road at 3am and got there by 9am when the dealership opened, they were an hour behind use. a couple hours at the dealership, sign here, here and here, and back on the road for a 7hr trip back home. My wife is awsome

If you like it, that's all that matters. I would have liked to get a Z06 but the fact is I don't have time to track the car, and the speed limits are basically the same everywhere. Not very fast. I also like the smooth body lines of the base car, it just looks more elegant and less aggressive and that appeals to me.
By the look of the other vehicles you posted, you'll be perfectly happy with your vette. No extra brake vents or badges are going to do you much good if you enjoy cruising. The money you didn't spend on a GS can be spent on the 93 octane fuel to get you to the next destination so you can enjoy life, and the car.

Congrats, I too (seems there are 3 of us on this thread alone) just picked up a nice 07 Z06 in machine silver with stripes. Only 15K on the clock and flawless....need to look into the heads but otherwise extremely happy with it and you will be too!
