If that is the Corvette you want, buy one. I have a 2007 C6 Indy Pace Car and I really enjoy it. It’s 18 years old, and I have always maintained it, and the Corvette runs great.

Yes! I second that idea. As 1bdvet says, do your homework. There is a lot of info in the C6 section for you to learn from.. Also in the C6 section is a subsection with C6s for sale so you can start to get an idea of price per model/options/mileage. Best of luck in your quest!
