I love silver...look forward to some sunny California pics. Looks as though you have Z06 replica wheels already.

Nice! I love the silver. I just bought an '05 a few months back. I wanted silver of Le Mans Blue.
Ended up with the blue, but you'll love your new vette for sure. Congrats!

Nicely done.

Now get that thing out of the parking lot, go somewhere more interesting, and take a few more pictures

Nice and congratulations! Most common bolt on are cold air intake, different exhaust, and a tune. Depends on your budget, but corvette tax is never ending. Lol
I recently purchased an 06 with 39k mikes(auto). Already had a corsa sport exhaust on it. I added an airaid intake and diablosport trinity tuner and definitely made a difference. Purchased headers but have yet to install them.

You live it even as stick. Enjoy!

Le Mans blue with a grey vert top....sadly i thought it was too costly at the time so i didn't buy.

LeMans Blue imo was the best blue of them all!
