In the Garage...
The Trans Ams replacement. 30,564 miles. Corsa exhaust, B&B long tube headers and a CAI. That is how it will stay. 6 speed Z51 package. Was solid and flawless on 2 hour drive home. I love it

That window is gross.. needs some Aquapel ASAP. ;)

Also if you dont mind sharing whats the price on one of those?
 
Very nice!! I love Magnetic Red! 😍
When I was searching for a C6 in 2013 I was looking for either Magnetic Red or LeMans Blue, and it had to be an M6. I just happened to find one in LMB right away but I would have been a bit happier if I had found one in Magnetic Red 😎

Wow, gorgeous!!

These things are amazing. Reliable and long lasting. That one is still a baby!

I just took a drive in mine today. Never fails to put a big smile on my face.
 
The right color, suspension and transmission. For my eyes, the C6 is the best looking model. Since I've given up on my Z28, I may have to follow you and go on a quest for one like yours.
 
Very nice score.
Best of luck with it. I love the 'plainer' look.
Love the color too. Is that the one which "changes" as the Sun sets? <<It was some special 'anniversary' (50th?) color, no?

I do not have the generations clearly in my head.
Is this C6 what you wanted, or would you've preferred a different vintage?

Maintenance records? Maybe the parking brake should be adjusted to bite lower?
Tires?
Removable roof?

Notebook has everything spelt out until 26 000 miles.
The color you are thinking is on the 2003 C5.
I was looking at C5s and C6s.
Removable roof with both the painted and glass top.
Could use tires. They are about 1200 installed for Contiential extreme contact DWS06 plus. I really like those.

Lemans Blue is the only answer.

Do it. I didnt think it would be different. I was wrong this is so much more car.
 
I'm back from walking the dog. It's annoying question time.
So, is there a rag top built in or no? Under that glass?
Truly love the spiral bound notebook.
As Oillover alluded to, there are refreshing elements of American car...flavor....proportion, familiarity and straightforwardness found in Corvettes...always has been.
In the name of equal time, settling on a US sedan dashboard and some material choices could've been made with other designers in the room.
Did you, by chance, fill 'er up when you took delivery such that you can post/boast the real mpg of your trip home?
It came with a "jack and a can", yes? See if the cans expire.
Going to Pep Boys for applique' plastic numbers..366 on each fender (6.0l = 366.3 cu. in.), like the 392 on some Challengers?
Also, seriously, are you saying a 'Vette wouldn't come with CAI (of any sort) from the factory? What brand was installed?

What kind of oil do you intend using?
