Loved my C-6! C-7 was actually a bit of a disappointment, too many driver aids. I'd have a C-6 GS if I could find one in the same color as yours.

Still working towards a first car, but when I’m older I’m hoping to get one of these it’s been my dream car since I was young.

I had a base 2005 with a 4 speed auto. At the time, this was the highest HP debut for a new model Vette at 400 pulling ponies. I then picked up a 2008 Vette 4lt with the ls3 and 6 speed auto. Outside of both being gen 6, that's where the comparisons end. The ls3 and all the extras with the 4lt package makes and unbelievable owners and drivers experience! My '08 is sporting 86+ on the milage meter and hasn't slowed down at all.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, did you feel the difference between the 4 speed and 6 speed transmissions?

I will warn, the seat parts, from the leather cover to the frame, are not sold by GM any more. The headlights, not sold at any price. Now, there is always a way. If I had a garage, I would have just removed my lights and shipped them out for lens replacement. Who knows, that may still happen, but I went with aftermarket, and the fitment sucks. For seat repair, I just bought some used seats online and had them shipped on a pallet. Not cheap, but it worked. We are in the compromise years now with these cars. See if you can find one super low mileage and garage kept. They have great bones, but the headlights, weather-stripping, seat surfaces, etc.. All that stuff hates to have been used.

The perpetual retirement home that Florida is means cheap Corvettes i guess

this guys values are very different from my pleasure car needs. I would caution anyone thinking of this is a value buy, it is a high maintenance GM top of line product, and a car of this capability requires good maintenance, so one has to really enjoy cars without regret to enjoy keeping a car of this age on the road. . by the way, my C5 with more milage doesn't have any body squeak ,and the original paint is fine. maybe something happened to the posters car, because in many years of reading about corvettes , paint issues never come up. And trust me, a lot of corvette owners are polishing fools and certainly would have said something, right after they first called their lawyer .
