New C6 owner
Just checking in to say hi and that I've finally joined the dark side with a 2006 C6 6 sp coupe with Z51. Really the dark side, it's black wth grey interior.
I've been a Mustnag guy since my teens and have owned 5 of them. My curent is a fuly built 4.3L 96 V6 vert that is supercharged with forged internals and makes ~400 rwhp.
My other go fast ride is an 09 MB C63 AMG that is stock except for a new tune.
These 2 cars while being almost the same power wise have totally different personalities and are very different to drive.
The vette is also very different personality and I'm very happy to have it and it is really fun to drive.

Welcome 
Former Mustang owner here too. I have owned a few but my favorite was my '89 Supercharged Notch, loved that car and wish I still owned it.
