Congrats! good lookin C6 there. Enjoy, top down weather is near! See you already have it down. Spend lots of time reading and educating yourself on the C6 here on the forum and learn all you can. Had my manual C6 6spd coupe out yesterday and enjoyed every minute. These are really fun cars to own and drive.

Hope you got some past service records with it. Probably won't be much in only 11k miles. Get a GMVIS history report from a GM dealer that will list any and all TSB's and recalls performed or not on your car. It's free.

Thank you for the great tips and I got all of the service records before I purchased it out of state. It just had the rear diff and transmission fluid changed and new Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT's all around. Of course, after reading many posts about tires, wishing that I would have purchased it with the option to pick out the tires. But, they already had them on the car. I just put on a Hooker Blackheart Axle-back exhaust system on it and I love the sound of it now.
