2016 C6 of Year Finalist
First time owner from Georgia
Hey, the name is Daniel and I have been a lurker here for years. I've been obsessed with Vettes since I was a kid and saw my first C4. I can still remember putting together those little Revell model car kits, everything from C2s to C4s.
I've had several Mustangs over the years but the want of owning a Corvette never went away, it only got worse. While I appreciate the older Vettes too, I've wanted a C6 since they first came out. Well, I finally picked up an 08 Arctic White 6M coupe with 55k miles.
It was owned by a retired Air Force officer and was originally a Texas car. It has a handful of mods(CAI, ported heads, mild cam, LTs, X-pipe with high flow cats, B&B catback, and Repro Z06 Spyder wheels) and the previous owner said it should make in the mid 400 hp range at the rear wheels. I love it and can't wait to learn from you guys and do some more mods!
