Default Finally got a c6!

Well after three years with my Camaro Z28 I sold it and got a C6. My dad sold me his 05 Z51 C6 with only 12k miles on it. My dad wants a C6 Z06 or the new camaro. After having the C6 for a few weeks I love this car! Much better then my Camaro haha. Having a c6 vette at 20 is pretty cool besides a few nasty stares here and there lol. Longtubes and a cam are my next mods i am gonna do. Anyways i am happy to be a vette owner now!

Welcome to the club. I've always had mustangs with the last one being a Mach 1. After having the C6 it would be hard to go back. I still have the mustang I drove to HS, but it is for sentimental/future drag car purposes.

I feel the same way buddy. I just picked up my 06' LMB Z51 Vert 2 weeks ago and it has been nothing but pure joy. Car is everything I thought it would be and more. I'll be giving it a full detail next week so look for pics!

Welcome aboard, I too was a Camaro Z28 owner (still am) prior to getting my C6 but I still love the Z28 a lot so I had to keep it as well.

Welcome aboard.

I always thought I was getting stares, but trust me - its the car they are looking at not you. I learned the hard way after pulling up to talk to a few ladies
