Default Introduction

I visited here once before I think. Anyway I am again in the market for an 08 or 09 model. I would also look into the earlier C6s as well as maybe, some C5. I understand the later C6s had several improvement that the earlier cars did not. Since budget my be an issue here, I would be willing to consider most anything from 02 and up. I am considering a coupe, manual transmission or auto with paddle shift. LT2 preferred. Just have to get out there and start looking. Any suggestions on what you consider to be the right car, please contact me. I like to learn as much as I can when making a purchase, so all help is welcomed.
