Default 1st C6






There are more pics in my album but no interior yet will update.

Hi Ive been on the C3 forum for a few years as Timsride but I have just gone out and purchased a 2006 C6 Z06. Its silver with a black and cashmere interior. It appears to be fully loaded as I havent found any options it doesnt have but this is still new to me lol. Pick it up hopefully Thursday.It also seems to be totally in stock condition.Il put up more pics and info as I get it.

Congratulations. I also came from owning several C3's to the C6. I will tell you it's nice to get in the car, and hit the switch. The brakes work, the air works, and your feet won't be like 10,000 degrees after riding awhile. You will love it. Enjoy, and let's get them pics up soon.

Congrats. I know you will enjoy your new machine. It is amazing how refined the C6's are. The ride, acceleration, even the mpg if you keep your foot out of it.
