Default New C6 Owner!!

Picked up my C6 a few weeks ago, I'm loving every second of driving this beast!

Stage 4 cam, built transmission, a whole bunch of other goodies.. Planning on doing widebody fenders in the rear and deciding between the C7/C8 style headlights.

Love the color! What exhaust is that? Looks like it may be a bit low but that may be the angle that the picture was taken.

Drive it like you stole it!

Small world indeed. I have a Machine Silver with red interior. Has the Preferred Equip and Z51. It had Calif Custom Wheels which I replaced with black AR and 1 size wider tires. The CCWs are for sale, but the way.

I'm on 180th St W, just a couple blocks west off Pilot ****. We'll have check out each other's cars.

Crazy, I'm right by the speedway/Kwik trip on pilot ****, I'll shoot you a message and we can setup a meet! That silver and red sounds like a sweet combo.

We're a half mile away from each other. Crazy.. Both my sons live on the East side of that same intersection, I'm surprised I haven't seen you driving around, or visa versa, but my daily is a black Genesis G70 with black wheels. I do love the red interior. So yah, we can meet up somewhere in the "hood".

Hmmm, I may try to get up there and look around for a little while. It looks like the show goes from 8:00 until 2:00. Depend on weather and my better half.

If you two guys in Farmington aren't in Classic Corvettes of MN you need to consider joining. Great group, meets 2nd Tuesday of every month in Savage (American Legion Post building) and does lots of neat fun things. Membership is cheap and we have about 150 members with a total of about 200 cars. Any year Vette is welcome, greatest number being C6's. Several guys with C8's, and a few classics as well. Look us up on the web at classiccorvettesmn.com/information. I'm in Rosemount, might PM you and meet up. By the way we're staffing the spectator gate Sunday if you're at the GM show.

How is the spectator parking, safe? I'm looking at my schedule and checking out the Classic Corvettes and the Corvettes of Minn. I'll get to one or both soon to check things out.

If I end up going to the GM show I'll stop by to chat with some club members! Thanks for the heads up.

Also here's a picture of our meetup:
