Finally got a corvette!
I got my first corvette yesterday. It is 2008 victory red coupe. It is a base model (no options) M6. It was the last 08 on the lot and they gave me 0% interest so I figured what the hell. My previous toys were a 500+rwhp 2000 mustang gt (katrina flooded) and I traded in a 07 SRT8 Charger for this corvette. I am very happy to be back in a sports car, although the charger was pretty quick for a four door. I can't wait for some cool weather down here in the south so I can start modding and see how fast I can get this thing to go bone stock first.
