Hey, Pappy! Not much going on here, just getting ready to put the Vette away next week. I think LD85 here has an '05 with a 6-speed, real sharp car. Mine still ain't quite right, looks like I'll have another winter to think about it.

Hey, pappy. Doing the same old stuff here in SoFlo. Not complaining too much. I could be doing the same old stuff in a much colder climate.

Pappy always nice to hear from you.....C6 is a move up from C5 in a lot of areas....Some say the 08 with the intro of the LS3 and the new 6M is the way to go but Tee Bee with his 07 would argue that......05's have some unique problems but if the car has been around most surely they have been addressed....... The harmonic balancers like to fall off some of the early C6's so make sure that has been looked at or fixed.......a lot of the C6's are trouble free for lots and lots of miles.......overall dependable.....and the LS3 is pretty much bulletproof.......

Hey pappy! The C6 is a great car. my 007 has been a sweet ride. Mine is the Z51. You can't go wrong. I put in a short-throw shifter and the 1-4 by pass. Mine also has the Borla "stinger" cat back, she sounds awesome.

I spun a rod bearing several years ago - ever since I got it fixed there is an annoying vibration somewhere. I imagine it'll have to be torn down again.
