Hello all,

The car has a tpw of 2-7. Forum dealer.

Polished Wheels

This will be my 3rd Vette, and I am sure the best one yet!

Thanks again all.

I am AMPED!

I'm buying blind. Have not test driven a c6. The invalueable info I got from this forum gave me the green light!

I have no doubt this car will exceed my expectations and blow away my other Vetts...

1971 LT1 roadster...lightning fast, but shuttered at speeds and scary brakes.
1996 Collector Coupe...a beaut in it's day, a little dated now.

Lars

Thanks for the kind words.

I knew when I saw the C6 last year, it was just a matter of time and I would have one.

I havent been this excited about the Vette in a while.

Not that I don't like the C5, actually I think they are beautiful and real performers.

After I traded my '96 life/business/fishing/boating got in the way.

Then there was Harley Davidson, 4 bikes in 3 years .

It is a good thing I have a understanding wife.
