Hey guys, i'm new to the fourms but will be browsing often, I just picked up a 2007 C6 6 Speed in Velocity Yellow, after selling my 2012 Camaro RS Name: RLxhT6R.jpg Views: 21 Size: 439.0 KB

Congratulations! The car looks great and you will love it. I bought my '08 two months ago and it has been a blast.

Congrads and may you have many miles of smiles !

I have to tell you that this car looks awfully familiar to me. A friend of mine recently traded his for a 2015. Are those Pa. inspection stickers on the windshield? I will see him tonight and ask if he still has the vin number from his.

Congrats and don't forget to wave. You'll love it. The Camaro is sporty, but it's not even in the same league-- especially now that you're running a V8 and not that wimpy V6.

Yes they are PA stickers! I bought the car from Lancaster LLC, they said the owner traded it in. The car has 49k miles

I'm loving the V8, it's the main reason I made the switch
