Owning SSes for 50 Years
|
The SS is Gone
Picked up the new car on Weds this week and it sure is nice. Thought you might like to see what I got to replace my wonderful 2012 Camaro with. It's a 2006 LS2 engined base coupe. It has only 23000 miles on it and it's like new...older guy (like me) owned it and took pretty good care of it.
I've already started the mods: VaraRam should arrive tomorrow...lol. This is the fun of owning Chevys...what can I do to improve it????

23k miles is not low in the C6 world. Even for a 2006.

Just supercharger it and call it a day.
 . But this car will be a good platform to build on. Hurry up and get some more mods on it and bring this car to the track for a good old family rivalry Camaro vs Corvette.

NICE! I have wanted a Corvette since I first saw one soooooo many years ago. I love my SS but someday I hope to have a Corvette.

Seems low to me 6-7 years old? 4600-4700 miles a year? what is an owner to do just look at it and never drive it? I'm am running about 6000 a year on my Camaro and I think thats low and I am very picky about when I drive it and it pretty much sets in the winter time, no rain or snow!!! I'm going to die someday, so I should leave a car with no miles for someone else to enjoy? hummmm NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!     :hea dbang::hea dbang:Drive the Car!!! |
