Default Back into a Corvette!

Had 2 Vettes prior and loved both but took a break for about 4 years.

Found a deal on a 2009 Z-51, 4LT car, 6 speed manual trans car. I knew I liked the C6 as my prior was a 2005 Z-51 car but I wanted a bit more power and the LS3 seems to offer just that.

What I really liked about the car was the factory rim. They looked unique being a gunmetal-steel blue mix or it appears plus I haven’t seen this rim on many C6’s period.

Just sold my CTS-V which I liked but I’ve always loved Corvettes since being a young kid.

I attached a few pictures. Yes just another C6 but I heard the 4LT is somewhat of a rare option with the leather stitched dash.

Thought I’d say hi once again. Glad to be back behind the wheel of the best bang for the buck sports car in the world.

Welcome back! Those wheels are pretty rare in the competition gray, and that interior is sweet!
