HI, My name is Danny. I have owned several 3rd and 4th gen Camaros and I own a 2002 Camaro SS now. I will be buying my first Corvette soon. I will get a 05 or 06 coupe. Any info you guy's can give me before I buy would be great!!
I do have a couple of questions of my own. Should I get the 06 with the 6-speed automatic trans over a 05 4-speed auto. What trans is stronger/reliable? I will be doing a H/C swap down the line so I would like to get the best trans. to hold up to the extra power. Also, is the Z51 option worth getting?

Welcome aboard and I might suggest that you post your question in the C6 General Section as that is where many more C6 owners spend time and will offer advise.
