Default New C6 Owner

Been lurking on these forums since probably December of last year. I have wanted a Corvette since I was a kid and finally decided that life is too short to not have what I want in life and a few months before my 30th birthday I purchased a Black 2007 A6 Base from a Merc dealer in Colorado. It was a one owner with 21k miles on it. Very well kept from an older gentleman that traded it in for a Merc. Drove it all the way back to Des Moines, IA and haven't looked back since.

Since January I have done several things including K&N CAI, Borla S-Type II Axle Back, Ported OEM TB, FAST 102 Intake Manifold, Hooker Blackheart Shorty Headers, Custom 91 tune by Lew (DiabloSport inTune i2) and a Ray Kawal Aux harness. Tinted windows coming Tuesday of this week.

I want to thank everyone on these forums, I have learned a lot about the C6 and certain things to look for in the future in case issues arise.

Enjoy a few pics of her.

That was a great selection for your 1st Corvette. Enjoy the twisty’s, watching cars disappear in the mirrors and remember to wave.
