New member, 1st Corvette
Purchased used 2008 C6 M6 with Z51 package last night. I guess my mid life crisis has come a bit late (I'll be 65 in May), but better that than never.
I did quite a lot of research before choosing and a lot of that was reading through threads on this forum which is why I want to be a member.
As far as I can tell, the previous owner added only a couple of things to the car, a double DIN GPS/Radio and a cold air intake (don't know the brand yet).
I expect I'll do long tubes and catted x at some point, but I believe I'll just do some driving first
Glad to see a resource like this forum is available!

Thanks everyone. In addition to the items I listed above, I think it may have the NPP exhaust option well based on reading a bit about it. They might be locked open though. Can anyone confirm from this photo?
