SEMO guy gets a Vette before 50!
Just turned 40 and ran across a deal on a 2009 Base 6 speed 1LT IN JSB. Car was modded by PO and has some minor issues. I plan to pull the engine, fix the problems, and install more upgrades along the way.
I've already found some really great info on here, and I hope to eventually be able to contribute as well.
Supposedly made @480whp wth current mods and I'm going to see if I can squeeze another 30-50 out of it NA. That sounds about right to me. ��

Congrats on your C6 and if by SEMO you mean SE Missouri, then good to see another Missouri member on the forum.

Welcome and congrats on your first Vette! 
I remember my first one like it was just the other day. But it has been a long time since I scraped up all the cash I had to buy a beautiful black 1965 Stingray for 10k.
