Im thinking of buying a C6 vette and maybe go with some STS twins. Looking to make the switch from the 04 cobra.

I gave up my BMW 645ci in a flash once I saw the Vette of my dreams which was a 2006 Black on Black C6 fully loaded with Z51 and automatic. I love my manual trans as my 645ci was a rare 6 spd manual but with the Vette I love the paddle shifters and the auto feature. Just nail the throttle and hang on, but just be sure that there are no cars in front or the law is not around

Good luck on your purchase and welcome to the Vette Family

I am trying to get a C6 without selling the stang. It will be hard but I am going to try. The Stang is an 04 cobra, full auto conversion, solid axle, Whipple car. It ran 10.67 @ 129 in street trim. I want a C6 that will run that are better and be able to drive it to the track.
