Drove a C6 now looking for C6 manual or C6Z
Hi,
I've been looking and driving a few different cars and the C6 is definitely a great car!
Saw a few on here I was interested in so I decided to register and hopefully find the right one. Maybe get feedback if I have questions before my purchase.
Thanks in advance.
Ross

Welcome to the forum. I'd recommend spending a lot of time in the various C6 sections of the forum - lots of good info over there.

Welcome and happy searching
Take your time looking for the perfect C6 for you. I just purchased one after looking for approx 2 months. The forums will help you make a good choice.

Don't get too upset...
Just wanted to let y'all know I appreciate all the comments but I ended up buying a 1 owner 2013 Boss 302 with 14,600 miles on it.
I know you are going to say the Corvette and the Mustang aren't in the same "class" and I'll agree, but this just works for me at this time.
I drove several cars, Pontiac GXP, Chevy SS, C6 Corvette, GT500 and others. I didn't want to like the Mustang as much as I did but this one is setup nicely and fun as hell. What I was surprised about is how much I didn't like the GT500, I would take the Boss 302 over it, and I did. The GT500 felt too big and disconnected.
I was actually looking hard at a few C6 ZO6s but didn't find any close to me that checked all my boxes, the Boss 302 was just a few minutes away, in great condition and has several good mods.
The C6 ZO6 or C7 will definitely be at the top of my list the next time.

Congrats on getting your Mustang - absolutely nothing wrong with liking that car. Ford has done a good job with the styling and performance of the Mustang. Hopefully some day a Corvette will be in your garage.
