Thx, Steven (and Boozman & owc6), but I've been around since Jan 15 w/an '06 Base VY Coupe, just silent.
Pretty hard to be silent about this baby!!

When John did the run, he had the can that added an xtra 100hp - note him pushing the button at about 149.
Not interested in 200, but need to beat my C6 base coupe record of 152 in Montana in 2015 (and was only running @ 4500rpm!!)

The car had one previous owner in FL, but it was lifted in '16 and recovered 2 weeks later without wheels/tires - they totaled it and that's why I got a great deal on it - rebuilt title. Being an Army Warrant Officer for 40 years (served 26/retired for 23 1/2 - '67 - '77 SFC; 77-Present CW4), USAA didn't blink an eye when I entered the VIN and that clinched the deal!!
Bottom line: Original 12/13 price: $115K; mine: $52.5K --YES!!--
