Default I found my C6!

After a few months of searching I found my C6! It's a 2008 victory red, 6M, 3LT, Z51, NPP with two tops and 63k miles. Mods include halltech intake, cam, valvetrain upgrade, kooks headers and catted x-pipe, Callaway short throw shifter and tune. The car is a few hundred miles away and I made the trip a few days ago to check it out. Due to scheduling commitments I won't be able to make the trip to get the car for two weeks and I'm working really hard on my patience skills lol. I'll post pictures in a few weeks after I take delivery. My two teenage boys and I are really excited! The forum has been a terrific source of information during the search process.

When I bought mine last spring the weather turned to crap, ice and snow, etc. the dealership offered to keep it indoors till the weather broke. Was a LONG week.

it looks like my 'older' brother, except for the mods and, the lower mileage, it's mainly a duplicate of mine.
enjoy!

The waiting is the hardest part, lol.

Making the 4.5 hour drive to pick her up tomorrow with my son. Brisket tacos for lunch, then an enjoyable 4.5 hour drive home. Some rural and some highway. Will be fun!

I didn't used to like them but the Gumby's are growing on me. Congrats on the car. Enjoy it. Lots of memories to be made with your boys. So e.of my best with my dad revolve around cars and bikes.

You did get Tom Petty stuck in my head but you gave me a great idea for lunch.

It's a beauty, minus mods identical to an '06 Z51 MN6 I'd owned.
Learned LS2 C6s are a solid & reliable Corvette to own, ample passing power too.
