Decoding VIN number
Just bought a C6 and need help decoding the VIN number. Mostly wondering what the vehicle number is. This is a great forum and I can see myself buying some chrome wheels in the future! Also, has anyone put on the logo piece between the exhaust? Thanks.

Number is 11583. I guess production is running well. Coupe, MagRed, auto, XM (love it), NAV (haven't used it yet), ONSTAR (haven't used it yet) . Waiting for decent weather!!

Hey, thanks guys, I've been looking for a C6 VIN decoder.
One question, though. Position #12, is that really part of the sequential number? If so, that would make my car #110693, and I know Chevy hasn't made over 100,000 C6s this year.
Of course, it's #10,693.
