I got my new 2006 VR 3LT Polished wheels, Z51, Nav, Transparent top, and everything else, just now! Now I gotta drive it and then later after my brother gets back i'll have him send me pics to post. Traded my 2006 1LT LMB for it. I like going from Transparent top and a6 being the only options to all these new ones I have to learn.

All Corvettes are born Red...Then some go bad


Great color and options. Did ya keep A6?

How do ya like the transparent top? That is the only thing I think I may have wanted that I didn't get.


Enjoy lots of great miles and smiles , and remember the wave.

Thanks! Yeah, i have the A6 again. The transparent roof would be much better in Illinois than in GA since it's so hot here, 105 or higher yesterday. I wanted victory Red when I got my LMB but i couldnt get the same deal on it. I think LMB might be my second fav color now. This one has 3LT, A6, Z51, Nav, polished wheels, Transparent roof, and Onstar. I have a cd I burned with 98 songs on it and it played fine in the LMB C6 but this one will suddenly end a song and go to the next one. Is that normal for burned cd's in a radio with Nav? I think the battery might need to get a full charge too cause it sounds a little weak trying to start. The car had 213 miles when it got here and only 2 in the past 2 months so i'm thinking they had to charge it to get it started. I gotta watch dvd's now to learn all this stuff.

Have fun. You'll enjoy all the new gadgets. I went from a basic C5 FRC to this fully loaded C6. Won't take you long to view the new options as manditory.

Hey Andy! Saying it's hot is an understatement. I traded the blue one on this one through Billy with reliable chevy in MO. It was the easiest transaction i have ever made for a car.

It's funny, driving the LMB the color didnt stand out while driving but the VR stands out a lot.
