First time NY Vette owner
I never officially did an into, so here goes. Long time car enthusiast, first time vette owner. Been into the Subaru WRX/STi platform for the last 7 years. Owning a 2011 STi as a recreation car, it seemed a little pointless. Didn't need 4 doors, AWD (since it was a summer only car), and it wasn't fast enough even after basic go fast mods. Sold that in search of my first Vette. Found a 05 C6 Z51 with less than 6K miles on it for $30,500 in Monterey Red.
Has some basic mods like color coded door handles and spoiler, Corsa touring exhaust, and a few other minor things. So far enjoying the car.
It does have one problem. When doing a "U" turn or parking, there is a clicking or poping noise from the right front. Doing some research, I believe its the endlinks but not positive. Other than that, the car is mint.
