Default Finally got one!
After searching for a just right C5 Z06...and getting tired of disappointments like to many mods, title issues, 4-5 owners, etc...

I picked up my 05 C6 this evening. Lemans Blue with titanium interior ( I think that is it...it is light gray), 6 speed, HUD, Onstar (I could give a CRAP about that), HUD, and Z51 handling. Oh, she just clicked over 3900 miles on my 100 mile drive home!

I'll post pics as soon as I take some...right now, I have to go out to the garage and wipe the bugs off her nose.

You made the right decision. That color combo is very nice.
