Mongoose 500 upgrade
Yes it is a beast. It belongs to my SO's father. It is a 2006 50th Anniversary edition. Gorgeous car and it will fly.
She is a sweet ride.

I believe that is a 2003, not a 2006. Welcome to the CF!

All 1997 - 2004 Corvettes were C5s and had fold down headlights.
All 2005 - 2013 Corvettes are C6s and had exposed headlights, the first since model year 1962.
Also, since the first Corvette was a 1953 model, the 50th anniversary would be 2003.
