Default C6 Info

Hi All, Even though I'm new to the forum, I've been reading the treads and gathering as much information as possible. After doing that, I had no choice but to run out and buy a C6. Took delivery of my Mag red, Z51 3 days ago. I'm just now able to get the smile off my face. I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

Have mine for exactly one week, changed the oil yesterday, at 2,525 miles, even the oil change was fun I put on a UPF filter and magnetic plug, and I'm good to go for a long time withou messing with it - unless I want to.
