First Vet
My wife and I recently purchased a "new" 2008 C6 with just under 6500 (yes 6500) miles on it. It is our dream car for our empty nest years. Our youngest just moved out of the house a couple months ago. It is Victory Red, 6.2 l, and looks like new. We are thrilled! We had been looking at new Mustangs and Camaro's but the vet was a stunning surprise.
I have to say it looks really good on my blonde wife
We have no plans for modifications, although my wife would very much like a little more exhaust rumble, so maybe that. Any suggestions to that end would be welcome.
Happy to be here, looking forward to learning about the world of Corvettes and their owners.

Welcome to the Forum!
Wishing you many smiles in many miles in your "new" C6!
There are a lot of different exhausts out there that will really change the tone of your Vette. And loud for one person is quiet for another. If you have any Corvette gatherings you might try going and listening to the different sounds. When you find one you like, check with the owner and use the same system they have. Under "Upcoming Events and Regional Discussion" (under Forums - top left of the screen), you may find events taking place near you. Good luck and welcome!
