Default Cya later guys...

Well its been fun but my C5 is going to a new home. Ive owned it for about 2.5 years and enjoyed it pretty much every single day. The new owner is also on the forums and has been on here since 99 so its staying in the corvette forum family. I decided to sell the car and pay off some credit cards and use the remainder as a down payment on a new car.

Now I have to decide if I want a 08 1lt z51 vette or a fully loaded 6 speed Infiniti G37.

Don't forget to wave

Take it easy and whatever you choose, keep the rubber side down.

btw i think the new owner wants stock z06 wheels so be on the lookout for the iforged wheels for sale with new tires! for those that really like the wheels, the person that is buying the car is "mikey"

thanks,

Take it easy man... G37 sucks *****. My good buddy was in the market, but after driving a few he bought a modded G35 instead. The G37 in a nice car, but it's bigger and more of a GT car than the G35. I found the G35 for him and told him that if he didn't buy it I would.... it's sick. Came w/ the HREs, Tein flex coilovers, and a Stillen true-dual catback:






'04 was the last year of the factory Brembos

So go get an '08 vette.
