Got the C6

Well I always said I wouldn't sell my C5 for a C6. It took like 5 years and a number of test drives to finally pull the trigger but I found my perfect daily driver a 2005 black/black with only 6K miles 6spd LT3, nav, F55, etc. I added the chrome 08/09 spokes, Borla stingers and X-pipe, Z51 brakes with red calipers (thanks Mike) Z51 sway bars and tinted windows. Other than those mods and an intake it's staying stock,...honest...really

Thanks guys and yes I'm keeping the C5-wouldn't dream of giving up that ride. They are both fun-of course the C5 is just flat out scary fast even with 335's on the back it will light the tires up in most any gear but the C6 is just a nice all around driver and hey I can actually hear the radio-imagine that.
