Nice subs you got there - I bet it pounds pretty good. Of course a V8 is music to my ears anyway...

Thanks. It sounds just right. Nothing too, too crazy. Combined with the LS roaring, going through the gears, with the top down, it's a lot of fun

Nice car bro!! Love that style of vette, the C6 is definately my favorite in the last 2 decades.

But man...your camera hates that color LOL.

Gotta love the vert. That color may be Chevy torch red which seems to show more orange in many digital cameras.

I think depending on the computer monitor your looking at the pics through, the color shows more of an orange shade. I'm looking at the pics here at the hospital and it definitely gives the vette a more orange hue than at home. Part of it is the camera as well. The color is Victory Red, not Torch Red---it's more obvious in person.

Thanks again for the compliments guys, I appreciate it. Victory Red on Ebony is a great combo on the Vette.

Bagwell, what color is your Vette?

Very, very nice bagwell. I think it should be a crime to get these cars in automatic.

Have you had any trouble running no front plate in Tx? I thought Tx was a front plate state? I would LOVE to take my bracket off. I didnt drill it (just stuck it on) with hopes I could take it off one day.

In TX, the only way you are allowed to NOT have a front plate, is if your car would require modification causing damage, to mount one.

In other words, if you have to drill holes, you dont need one. They can harass you for it, but if they give you a ticket, take it to court and any judge will agree...you just dont drill holes into the bumper of a $50,000 corvette.
