Default Newbie from KCMO
Howdy! Recent transplant to the KCMO area originally from MI. I've been a long time lurker, but am finally getting serious about picking up a C6Z. It's been a dream car of mine for quite some time and after turning 40 earlier this month, I think it's finally time I'm adult enough to own one. LOL Currently have a '61 Cadillac sedan DeVille as my "toy car." But, trying to get back into something fun instead of just an ice cream getter.

Looking forward to perusing and hopefully contributing as an owner in the semi-near future.

Welcome and good to see another Missourian on the forum. Best of luck in your C6Z search - try checking out the C6 Corvettes for Sale section - there may be one just like you are looking for listed there.

Welcome to the Forum and best wishes with your C6 Z06 search!
The C6 will probably be a little smaller and a little faster than your current ice cream getter.
