Default New from Jax FL

Hey guys!

I'm new. Don't have a car yet but I'm looking around and using the forums to guide me.

I've had an 05 GTO M6 in the past, bolt-on's with a tune 371rwhp. Fastest I ran was a 12.9 @ can't remember exact trap but 109-111ish
Had a 97 Z28 M6 before that w/ bolt-ons. Ran a 13.9 @ 100ish

I've always wanted a C6. Hopefully I can grab one before my mid-life crisis (30 now)

I know how to use the search function but sometimes you just can't find what you're looking for so I might post a deadhorse question, plz forgive my transgressions....

:P

Welcome to the forum!
Best wishes with your search for the C6 right for you.
You might want to check C6s in the for sale section, too.

Welcome to the forum. It's good to see a few people from the JAX area on here. Most of the locals seem to be in the C7 forum. Good luck finding your perfect C6. They are great cars with plenty of power.

Congratulations. Looking good!
(If that’s your “take home “ car in the background, it’s okay. Tons of LEO’s around the forum)

Nice looking C6, and the right color. I wouldn't call JSO crap, those guys deal with a lot of stuff around town and put their lives on the line 24/7. Now some of the other stuff back there, yeah. Good luck with the car and have fun with it.
