Nice! I've an 06 C6 as well, Z51 6spd Vert. Just a ported Fast 92 so far. I also have a C5 Vert that would be considered a heavy mod.

Welcome to LS1Tech ride.

How bad is the UK insurance, is it displacement based?

Its terrible, its based on;
  • How old you are
  • How long have you had a license
  • What do you work as
  • What make is the car
  • What year is the car
  • What size engines does it have
  • is it imported
  • LHD or RHD
  • Petrol or Diesel
  • How many years no claims have you got
  • Where you live
  • Where is the car kept at night
  • where is the car kept at day
  • How many cars you own
  • How many miles a year you do
  • Is it for social, domestic or commuting
  • do you use it in rush hour traffic
  • Is it modified (Types of modifications)
  • Does it have an alarm / immobilizer / tracker

You name it, our greedy government and insurers will try and rise your premium on it.

For me, it is £1800 a year, roughly $2,700+! or if i want to pay monthly, its £2,200 or around $280 a month!

Thanks for the welcome
