FS 08 C6 z51 M6 coupe
2008 C6 z51 2LT M/6. 211xx miles. Victory red, tan interior, 1 red top, VaraRam SC-1intake, Kooks coated headers, x pipe w/high flow cats, Corsa Sport exhaust, custom dyno tune. I bought it with 13k on it last March. I had the mods installed. I never raced it or drove it hard. Garage kept. At 16k or so I put Nitto Invos on it. Sounds great! Surprisingly great mpg (20 as a daily driver, 29-34 on the highway). $34,000. I'll try to get pics up tonight...

Ok, I bought the car from a car dealership here in Manhatan, Kansas. The original owner is a helicopter pilot who needed a more family friendly car. I bought it with around 13,500 miles. After about a month of owning it I ordered the intake, headers, x-pipe, and exhaust. All of July and August the car was garaged because I was away. It was also garaged for about half of September. In October is when the weather started to turn and it began to get a lot of time off. I drove it once between November 11th and NYE. All of February the car was garaged, and now it's back to driving season.
I would love to say it hasn't seen rain since I've owned it, but that would be a lie; it was raining the day I drove it home. I will say it hasn't seen snow or wet roads after a snow since I've owned it. My fiancé always yells at me for spending too much time washing it on the weekends. Every weekend I would hand wash and detail it.
I have never had an issue with the car. Not one single thing. Of course the oil has been changed regularly with Mobil 1.
The hardest the car has been driven since I've owned it was on the dyno. I am terribly afraid of losing control and smashing into a wall or telephone pole (previous experience in a different car). I'm also terribly against paying fines, so speeding is out of the question.
I love the way the car sounds! The best sounding Corvette I've been around! The is no drone at any speed, ever!
As far as options go, it's pretty limited. Power seats, satellite radio, z51 suspension, upgraded brakes (I think)... I have the build sheet somewhere, I'll dig it out this weekend.
I have a couple of reasons why I am selling my car. Biggest reason is I will be on a business trip for about 9 months and I do not want to leave the car with family or in a storage unit. The other reason is it isn't the exact car I want. It was really an impulse buy. I really want a wide body vette, maybe a Z06, maybe a ZR1. I also, for some unknown reason, really really want a Termintor. But, in any case, I just don't want to be away for so long with this car sitting around unattended.

Thanks man. On my Mustang forum people have been getting 400whp+ with just mail order tunes/intakes. A couple guys have put on superchargers with very mild settings and are pushing around 500-550whp for under 8k. If I don't get a c6 I may have to go that route

As for the interior pics, this was a bad weekend to try to do anything other than drive to and from KC to a BMW dealership 3 times. I'll have them up Friday evening.
Also, new price: 33,000
