Flame? HAHA i hope no one flames you . . . that is a BAD A$$ ride right there. I love vettes, i have had 2 cobras in my day and love em, but the vette will be the next full blown sports car that i own. I love that color by the way, the C6s are sweet rides for sure. Any plans for the car? Or just keepin it stock?

Got it at boardwalk auto center in Redwood city, Ca. MSRP was 58,380 and I paid 51,406. $500 under GM Supplier cost. Saw it advertised on a Vette forum, they had bout 40 to chose from, it was pretty cool.

You know I gotta get the windows tinted, I'm gonna call the place my dealership uses tomorrow & set up an appt...as far as mods I dunno..This is my first domestic car, dunno how it's gonna hold up! haha! It is fun as hell to drive though, has a nice heavy feeling with plenty of power, couldn't imagine the Z06!!!

yeah i have a buddy with a red Z06 . . . it is REDICULOUS! That is my dream car i think, one of the new Z06s. Anyway, mod-wise those cars are pretty strong. Has the 427, correct? Or is that just in the Z06? I know with my buddies Z06, he added long tubes, midpipe, and catback and he gained A LOT on the dyno. You should try that first and see how you like.

you would be most guys dream woman, judging by that list of rides you have. i am a member of corvetteforums.com also for when i was about to get one myself. as for mods...your first should definitely be the corsa exhaust, after tint of course.

and i had no idea you were a girl until you mentioned it, my apologies...we are still considering getting my mom a vette, but she's really into chic and posh cars like bmw's and stuff. so we were gonna get her a total barbie mobile. a white one with white z06 wheels powdercoated. pink painted calipers and a pink pinstripe lip on the rim. what do you think? her bday is in october, and i brought the idea to my dad. it's either a vette or a range rover sport. i thought my whole color scheme idea was creative.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

But it works in reverse, too. You'll have guys wanting to give you, eh, the car, a test drive.

With the name 'Soda' ..... do you know George Costanza by any chance?

Nice upgrade! I'm loving the fact that not only did SHE get a vette but SHE got a stick unlike 90% of the guys who own them.

Congrats! And Chicka I would have done the same thing if my commute was so long! I want a Vette sooooo bad except I would have went with yellow. Getting stick is a bonus! Enjoy your car!!! I know I would!!!!

Lol, thanks Ron, I think anyone would love the car, it's a blast to drive also...I really did want a bmw 650, but didn't want the huge payment. My b day is in october too, so if she doesn't want the Z06, I'll take it
