From S2000 to C6. Austin,TX, TX.
Hi everyone. I'm a track guy here in Austin and even instructed at Circuit of the Americas. My long S2000 project had finally wore me down. I finally decided to go Vette because I had a feeling it could deliver comfort and power. Found this amazing 05. Many of my friends couldn't believe I didn't go for Z06, but I just had to have targa top. Of course the cars already been a little mean, having eaten its AC compressor. Enjoy the pics!

Nice C6, and like the color combination very much! Welcome to the forum.
I too came from a S2000. I had it 11 years, and didn't tire of it but my son wanted to buy it so he now has it. For him a big upgrade from his Miata. I did go for a Z06 as I really liked the firm ride of the S2000 and didn't want something softer. It was stock so not stiff like a race car though.
