Back to another Vette!

I traded my c6 Corvette for a built Camaro about 3 months ago,thought it was the right choice. Bad idea. Before i even plated the thing the double valve springs broke. Little metal parts clogged my oil pump and bam! There goes the LS3 motor. I returned the car to my buddies dealer where I bought it from, I figured I'd let him deal with it. He gave me about $1k less than what i paid for it so no biggie. I than started to search for a z06 and found the perfect one in Houston from Droptopc5 (Dave). Flew out during the week to Houston with my buddy and met up with Dave. I loved the car since i laid eyes on it. Exactly as he described the car. Easy few minute transaction and i drove her back to CO. Fun drive. Got back and right away did a few little changes

The car is completely stock. I need to get exhaust this week right after emissions. Here are a few pics!

Nice car

but I guess "completely stock" is a relative term, since those are not stock wheels.

I just did the same thing! I traded my 05 C6 a while ago. I just traded my '12 Camaro SS for an 07. Glad to be back in the saddle. Here is the Camaro. Pics of the Corvette to come.
