" Eight Cylinders All Mine".........

I have had my 05 conv/ 6speed only 2 weeks now and after a good polish and wax along with a nice drive with the top down today ( 60 degrees in Atlanta) I gotta say I am really enjoying this car.......

Looks great. I predict the mod bug will be biting soon, especially if you spend any time here on the forums looking at all the amazing cars!

Agree, looks great. 05 here too. Mine has been great. There is a recent thread on the 05 model with most all positive comments. Enjoy. Wow, that yellow really snaps! Looks good just the way it is.

Don't forget to engage reverse on shutdown.

Congrats, good color choice too, LOL. All those years to get a real engine again, what took you so long......Kidding. Hmmm, Deep Purple, giving away your age too I see!

First thing I did was buy the isimple isgm655 for the nav radio so my phone links bluetooth to the sound system.

Got it on ebay for 130 and directions to take the console apart are on youtube.

Nice! Gotta love the convertibles.

I'm just a little bit north of you, right over the border and in the mountains. We've not had any nice days here. I'm jealous. I'm getting itchy for a nice top down day.

Best of luck with your new Vette!

You will not be sorry. The C6 Corvette is really a sweet spot for driving excitement, looks, value, and reliability. If you look at the current prices, I think they are the best value on the market for what you get.
