Glendale, AZ checking in! (2012 coupe)
Hiya folks.
i got my c6 a couple months ago, then we moved our business, I went on vacation, and now that I'm back I'm ready to have fun with it.
It's not exactly what I was looking for and a bit more expensive than my target price range but it only had 9000 miles, had the 3lt trim, and was cyber gray metallic so I fell in love and pulled the trigger.
I'd like to do a bunch of stuff to it right away but I paid cash for it and I'm going to have to space out the work cuz I'm light now. First is ceramic coating with a bit of correction.
Next is swapping out the deck (speakers seem fine, just don't like the nav/display/ and I want some Android integration.)
I'm not bored with the stock power as of yet, but I know it can be a bit better. I AM pretty bored with the sound though. She's so quiet! As of this moment the plan for phase 3 (possibly final phase) of playing with it is to get intake/lp headers/hi flow cats/ and finish it off with a borla exhaust.
(And tune it in)
Til then, I'm gonna be scoping some threads around here and stealing ideas, asking dumb questions, and maybe shopping for parts.
So hi! Look forward to chattin with ya's.
