Hi All,
I purchased a 2005 C6 stick with all options including the Z51 performance package about 6 weeks ago. I had been looking for about a year as I felt the C6 could be hitting it's low point price wise, even though good C4 and C5s can be had for less than I paid. The car only has 26.500 miles on it and is in very good to excellent condition. It's Magnetic red with a cashmere interior. This one has "Lamborgini" doors, a Monza exhauset a two other add ons that could be removed for all I care (amp and a sub-woofer and a red under carriage lighting package). As I am almost 74 the doors make it very easy to get in and out of (it's much easier than my son's 2007 Z06), Anyway, I love the car; it's torque and handling are outstanding, but it is a little harder to drive than my 2007 Infiniti G35 coupe with the sports suspension/tire package. My last Vet was a 1969 350/350 stick convertible with all the options except the side pipes and ralley wheels. It's fun to be back. I hope I can use the forum to explore the background of the car; I'm the third owner, but I do have the first two owners names.
