Congratulations! Be sure you let us know what interior and options you've got on it. Pics wouldn't hurt, when convenient.

It was discounted because of the color.

Congrats, maybe you didn't get it quite as cheap as you wanted, but you still got a good deal. Just additional proof that a C6 that is priced above MSRP can indeed be purchased below MSRP(and not by just a couple of hundred dollars). And in Florida, not some small populated state in the middle of the snow belt that normally dosen't sell many Vettes.

Congrats
Got my Precision Red Z-51 w/ black interior last week in L.A.
Everything but the NAV system. I love driving the car so much, I look forward to getting lost

I gotta admit, I was a little worried about my decision to buy the C-6 after reading all of the mixed opinions here on the forum.
Now I know how unfounded they were IMO.
Anybody else smell sour grapes???
I could care less how this car stacks up to Z's or V's.
This car's got JUICE. And with a couple of simple mods, all the better.
And for what it's worth... I'm still crazy about my C-5 50th Anniv. auto.
2 entirely different cars. Both great!!!
Damned shame you can only drive one at a time...

Picked the car up at 7pm tonite. Too dark and too much traffice to tell much but even with the Z51 suspension the ride is good. I heard another post say that you 'hear' the tires hit a bump more than feeling it. Very true.

Anyway, I got a great deal from a dealer who does not normally 'deal' on corvettes or SSR, GTO etc. Maybe the new building they are in helped? On top of everything else, I captured a 3.75% fixed rate loan! Sweet!

Congrats on the new ride Karfever... you are going to love it!!


How do you find the day that a particular car came off the line?
I picked mine up at the museum, have a build sheet, but no indication of the exact date it was manufactured.
The sticker on the door says 10/04, which I am assuming is the month and year.
Is there a secret location where all this info is kept??
