Thats badass but what do all of the letters mean? A6 LT3 etc Does the top come off of the blue one too?

[gbgary]

3LT is the top-of-the-line interior trim package, A6 is the six-speed automatic (w/paddle shift), Z51 is the upgrade suspension package (larger, drilled rotors, swaybars, shocks etc.)...and yes the top comes off ALL coupes.

[Lyfisin]

Gary, Thanks for taking the pics and meeting me for lunch.

Adam, its a 6 speed automatic (A6) and 3LT is the options package it has. The 3LT comes the with a 6 CD BOSE stereo system (which many claim sounds worse than the stocker), the HUD, memory package and other stoof. Z51 is the suspension package.

The top comes off of all the coupes and there's a place to store it under the window.

i'd love to do the wide-body conversion. the rear is relatively inexpensive, the front end is both fenders, nose, and all the associated parts. it's a lot more. oh, and you need new tires and wheels. looks really good though. several member of corvetteforum.com have done just the rear section.

[WA 2 FST]

Lookin' good, guys!! :tu:

[L8 APEX]

Now everyone that beats Tifton poser buddy is going to think they whooped a Z06:rolleyes: The blue one is sharp, I prefer the tan interior though. The cowboys kind of ruined the silver and blue for me.

its a full bolt on cammed C6, puts out 434hp, so it holds its own

as long as it's not badged as a z06 i don't have a problem with it.

Funny that you mentioned that about the Cowboys. My best friend brought up that same remark about an hour ago. I'm not a 'boys fan so I will just continue to think of it as Lemans Blue and Titanium Gray.

Thanks for the compliments all.

Tell your buddy to watch out for this guy. I heard the kid can go through the gears pretty good.:d

I want his sunglasses. They match my paint. :)

I'd find someone to swap interiors with or sell it and buy a new one with tan int:D

There were plenty of Blue/Tan ones to pick from. It just wasn't for me. I wish I did like blue/tan. I could have saved a ton on the purchase. They had a heavily discounted '06 on the lot that had it and they were offering 0% financing in addition to a huge discount.

[BC Lightning]

He came up to RPM the day I dynoed my truck, I didn't like it, you can't hear the cam and all of the guys working at RPM were bashing it :cool:

Sharp looking Corvettes, Brook and Gary! :)

[gbgary]

they better get used to it cuz several after-market companys have/are coming out with their own versions. imo it's the way all c6s should have been from the get-go.

I like the Blue/Gray colors. That is a very sweet car...:tu:.

that cam makes more torque and same peak power as the bigger cam they were wanting to put in it:rolleyes:

[BC Lightning]

I wasn't talking about the power, the body styling he put on it wasn't done good, you could see where it was installed crooked, lines didn't match up, and the fact that he is a poser, whats the difference between him trying to be a Z06 and an F-150 trying to be a lightning :cool:

chevrolet did the body work, all factory equipment and the lines are perfect, Hes not trying to be a Z06(hence the reason he didnt badge it as one), he just likes the styling of the body and went with it, quit being a hater :throw:

P.S Vette Magazine decided to feature it in one of there articles, so something must have been done right:rolleyes:

[Beaudee]

I am gona sell the GTO and get a Vett next year.Sinse ive had the GTO it hasnt worn a set of tires right yet!!I have had nothing but alignment problems ever since i bought it.Always toed out on all 4 wheels.Pontiac should have in the Owners Manuel to align it once a month.

i've read somewhere lately that the front-ends on those things were horrible. sorry it didn't work out for you. you'll love vette though. now is a real good time to get one. heavily discounted, lots of choices on the lots, and even the '08s are below sticker.

[02BOLT]

Congratulations Brook! Le Mans Blue would be my first choice as well. Those things look bad-a$$ in any color. The Le Mans Blue is just gorgeaous on the C6 Vettes IMHO. You'll have a blast in that thing I'm sure.

Jeff-ro has been kind enough to allow me to play with his from time to time, and he pretty much has to pry my a$$ away from the thing. Jeff's car trapped 114 mph on 27,000 mile, rock hard run-flats, in so-so air, BONE STOCK! Paper filter and all. Where I come from, 114 mph is hauling the mail pretty damn good. Chevrolet really did their homework on the C6 IMO. The factory sound system is among the best I've ever heard, the seats are comfortable, and supportive, and I dig the dash layout. Furthermore, my 6'4", 255lb a$$ fits in the thing........comfortably. Sweeeeeet cars fo sho! Enjoy.:cool:

[gbgary]

i sure don't get how big guys fit in these things. i'm only 5'8" and the seat is all the way back in my car.

[02BOLT]

It requires a bit of effort on my part to get in and out, but , once I'm in however, I'm plenty comfortable, with plenty of head and shoulder room.

If so I can't wait
I'd rather get my L back. :icon_neutral:

Wow Mark- long time no see. Glad to see you are still hanging around.:tu:

True Steve-O.

It was good speaking with you this afternoon, Mark. You need to get back into another L, asap. :tu:

Great looking rides, guys!

[blueoval01]

Great cars!! :nana2:nana2

[Lyfisin]

I spent a little time on it Thursday giving it the same TLC I always gave the L. It was a little frustrating because I'm a Zaino guy and I found out I my ZFX was bad AFTER I had already stripped down the car with Dawn and clayed it. ZFX is required on the initial application only. I wanted to have the car done by Saturday and Zaino doesn't offer overnight shipping. :mad:

I ended up getting some Meguiars, which is supposed to be pretty good, but the polish indicates you shouldn't get any on the rubber. I was pretty careful and wiped it off when it happened, but it was still a pain. Zaino leaves no residue I have ever seen if you accidentally color outside of the lines. It came out looking pretty good, but I'm going to pass on the Megs. Too much hassle.

Thanks for all the great compliments. I know this is a Ford Board, so this is first and last picture I'll post of my bow-tie mobile.

Looks gorgeous. You should try Tropi-care. The guy that is a dealer (Steve P) is right in your backyard. He used to be the Zanio rep in the area.

Happy B-day too- nice gift for yourself:tu:

[Lyfisin]

Thanks Steve for the birthday wishes and compliments. I feel lucky and I hope all those people getting married today have the same fortune, or better.

Tropicare was what they used on my hood when I had it painted. It came out looking great. Do you know if it shows if you accidentally get some on the rubber like paste wax does?

From my experience it works very similar to Zanio. I'm had no problems with getting on the trim pieces

[Silver_2000]

I was reading thru the paper and noticed that A dealer here is selling 07s for $39,999

hmmm.....

trouble is I know that I would want more ...

It optioned out for $77,230.00

[WA 2 FST]

yeah, but they are offering Z06's for $7k off MSRP. That's not bad for what you get. It's Young Chevrolet, I believe.

[Lyfisin]

That's where I got mine.

Obviously not the Z06 though. :)

[dboat]

that is mighty tempting...

$70k is still a little high... for me ...

No doubt...that's a lot of coin.
