No clue on the brakes...but they're not chrome, they're polished

Congratulations and welcome to the corvette family. Atomic Orange is one of my favorite colors along with Velocity Yellow, which is the color of my 2007 A6 vert.

Congrats man, she is very pretty! Now be prepared for all the attention, questions and such from total strangers you will be getting! Its usually all good and nice people who genuinely share your passion for vette's.

They sure are a ball, careful as you'rs speed is illegal in like 2 - 3 seconds

Purchased it from a forum member here and couldn't be happier. It's everything it was presented to be.

Even though I have wanted a vette for a long time, I have only been in two. One as a passenger of a mid 90s C4 for about a 5 minute test drive 10 years ago, and then I recently took a C7 on about a 15 minute test drive which was a mistake as I wanted one but couldn't afford it

All along I knew I'd end up with a C6, and it had to be manual, LS3, and orange or white. So when this one popped up, it was about a year too soon, but it had everything I wanted, so I pulled the trigger.

So, glad to be here and glad I'm finally a REAL member and an OWNER!

And if anyone wants the CCWs their for sale
Pictures from the previous owner:



I am really happy for you, remember my goal was to get one by the time I was 40 and that was when I bought my first one, it is an awesome feeling, welcome to the Club, the bad news is now you are HOOKED FOR LIFE!

Yes, very nice ride.

I recently acquired one too, velocity yellow. Not only do I have a grin on my grill driving it (unfortunately, once before snow started falling) just walking past it in the garage makes me giggle like a young school girl.

Congrats and enjoy! That color was my second choice. Cyber Gray Metallic got me.

I like the wheels. I say keep them. I wish I could afford a set of CCW's to throw on my GS.

Don't forget the Corvette wave!

When I finally got mine last year I kept going out to the garage to stare at it. Welcome to the club!
