Just wanted to say hi to everyone over here on the C6 section of the board. I just traded my 2001 Torch Red 6 speed coupe for a 2007 Monterey Red 3Lt Z51 with 11,000 miles. The previous owner installed Z06 rear quarters and put Z51 badges on the front fenders. Those are coming off in the next day or two.

Here is what I gave up.




Here is the new toy.

Forum rookie, LOL, see what happens when you buy a C6? You lose a couple IQ points, LOL

Mods will move this for you though.

You got another car, I don't really think that it's up particularly.

Your C5 looked great, but the C6 you just got is very nice. Love the color and the wheels. Congrats and enjoy the new ride.
