Default My first C6...
Sold my 03 Z06 last fall, picked up a 01 WS6....that didn't work so I set out on hunt for a C6.

Color didn't matter, just didn't really want black.

Stumbled on this 07 13k miler one owner in Georgia, and a week later it's in my driveway. Its a 1LT 6speed car.

Absolutely love it.

Beautiful Blue. Got yourself a lightweight 6 speed stick huh? Sweet. Headers, catted x-pipe, Borla Touring axle back exhaust, CAI and a tune and you'll have 410 rwhp. Or leave it as is and drive and enjoy it.
