Default Hello!

Hello everyone!

My name is Gabe and I am currently looking into getting a Corvette. I currently have a 2006 GTO but have decided to move on up!

After some research I think I'm set on getting a 2008 black C6 M6. Preferably the 2LT trim and Z51 package.

Hopefully it won't be too difficult to find and I can join this wonderful community! If there's any advice on what I should look out for that would be great! Thanks!

-Gabe

Default Welcome to the Forum

This has been the C4 Forum (so far)
C6 Discussion/Tech is full of advice. And sometimes full of other things. Check it out.

I would just add to that. Get the latest, most optioned, favorite color, that U can afford.

GLWP
good luck with purchase
btw: I got that M6 in my 90. Good German made trans.

Hello and welcome!
Lurk in C6 General Discussion for a while and read as much as you can there about all things Corvette. You will come away with a lot of what you don't know now, guaranteed
Good luck!
