The Vette is really nice. Good luck with it!

Driving a Corvette does not mean you should stay away. Keep on posting, and we hope to see you at C5F.

I actually like the C5 body style more than the C6. Good pick!

You're going to take it easy on us? Gee thanks. Hope you enjoy all the negatives that go along with it... These were my last two cars....






Most corvette owners are pricks and most non corvette owners look at young dudes with them as... well nothing good. Been there, done that.

My C6 was also an 07, M6 tho. Fun ass car. Enjoy!

Dan and I can attest to the fact that our 5th gens were full of negatives and fail. The arrow can only point North from here.....ya know?

As far as Corvette owners go....we're well versed with that type of crowd...because you just described the local 5th gen Camaro ownership to a T.

It's much easier to propel a 3200 pound car quickly and reliably than it is a 3900 pound car.

Sorry you guys have a shitty 5th gen crowd up there... seems like Mac may have the same type out his way. The Ohio folks are pretty fun.

You will both enjoy the Vettes. They are a lot of fun... I had a few others too... 67, 92 and 95. If it weren't for the Camaro, I'd either still have the 2007 or have a Grand Sport now. I tried to keep both the C6 and Camaro but that wasn't happening without making major changes.

The Camaro is just more me... Plus when I got it I had the 67 Camaro and 89 IROC. 67 is gone now tho.

It is my sister's and she purchased it new in January of 2007 and it currently has only 6500 miles. Car is currently in storage (perfect time to buy a Vette, lol)



Thanks to everyone who has helped me out and I really enjoyed watching the development of this car from the time I joined as well at the first 2 years I owned it. I had a blast at CFI and will mostly likely still check out CFIII because it's so close. I promise to take it easy on you guys. I made a lot of great friends because of this car and that is the best part of owning this car. I'll still troll around, lol. Good luck everyone.
Enjoy the new vette

this is my 09

Thanks man, I love the Cyber gray. I'm also jealous of your LS3. I loved that motor in my Camaro.
