Blade Silver 2010 Z16....Grand Sport....never does rhyme as good as Red Super Stock Dodge....
Sold the C5 and found this after hours of exhaustive research on the web...nice car 20,500 miles. It came out of New Mexico and where an older gentleman bought it and recently traded it in on a Jag at the dealership. 6 speed manual (yikes) side oiler built at Wixom but I don't know by who yet. Complete catback Corsa set up, 3LT Heritage....I paid a lot less then what they had it advertised for. I think I'm going to love it...... More later I have to go to a ballgame..... |

Thanks....I have been looking for awhile and started out with 08 Base coupes because I wanted the LS3 engine...then I got into a Z06 up in Chicago that I even had Matt going to go look at it and drive it for me....but after thinking about it the Z06 was not what I really needed plus I ended up getting this car 2K cheaper then the 08 Z.
So then Joe got his GS and I was dazzled by it and started looking at them and liked what I saw. I started with the 10's and higher milage because of cost. I spent hours on the internet until I could recognize cars and where they were at on different sites.....I was just about to give up when I saw this on Ebay listed under 45K. I went to their website and it was listed at 47,900 so that prompted a phone call and the thing just took off from there. We got in a standoff because I wanted run flats and this car has a new set of Nitto Invo's on it which are non run flats. They ended up giving me a bit more off but I knew for that car and the options it was a fair price. A new set of Michilins Sports run around 2200 bucks......are you kidding me....! Hope I don't get a flat... Now I just have to figure out how to get down there and pick it up.....It's in Springfield MO. TBee was in on it since I had a few questions and Matt was great to want to help me on the Z06 up in his country...even got to talk to him on the phone....More when I go pick it up..... |

Stunning! Moving from a C5 to a C6 isn't as great a leap technologically as from the C4, but aside from the rock solid feel and seamless power what really has me entranced is the styling.
I love the C4 style. In my eye though, I see in the C6, especially the wide body, the styling features of the C1, C2 and C3 from the grill to the fenders to the tail lights taken and transformed into a 21st century icon. May the C7 take it a step further. Big shoes to fill IMO. |

BTW, Tommy. It's your turn. I think the rotation was Joe, Marcus, Tommy. So what year C6 are you buying?
