Hello to all and happy holidays.
I am the new owner of a 2005 victory red Z51 6spd 1sb 11000 miles.
There is not a scratch on it and still smells new.
I never thought I would own a vette again. Last year, a week before Thanksgiving,my garage burned to the ground. Contents included a body off restored 65 red/black 365hp 4spd with knock offs. That car was bitchin'. I had alot of sentiment and work invested in that car. I still get a little misty when I think about it.
Ten days ago a friend told me about the C6. An aquaintance of his had traded it in on a new Tahoe
So I brought my buddy who did the majority of work on my 65, he also has a C5, to look at the car. OH MY GAWD
. After looking touching pushing all the buttons and a looong test drive I was in love again. That car has major grin factor
Now it is in the new and larger rebuilt garage.
The winter will be spent tweeking and waiting for the weather to break in the spring
This is a great forum. You people are full of excellent info and enthusiasm. You will help me get thru the winter.
