Potential New Corvette Owner
Hello everyone,
My name is Sam and I'm 26 and will be looking to purchase my first corvette here in the near future.
Going to be on the hunt for a modified manual C6 for under 40k and hope to find it here.
Thanks for letting me nose around and I'll be active once I make a purchase.

Welcome to the Forum, Sam!
If you haven’t already, you may want to check through the various C6 sections at

I would especially encourage you to read the Sticky Threads at the top of the General and Performance sections. May give you some good info for when you are checking out a prospective purchase.
Best wishes with your C6 search!
