2006 Spice red
Just picked up a 40000 mile spice red and have to say I could not be happier at the quality of the car I have been trolling around on this site for about 9 years and just never posted much. I had a bunch of f-bodys but this car with the ls-2. The ls-2 is a monster and drives like an everyday car when you cruise it gotta love it. It's been a few years since I have been in a fast car going from my ***-350 super duty van to this. I was pulling out of the toll booth on 95th and 294 and almost **** my self lol.....anyways happy to be back in the world of LS

Good looking car. Love the SRM! You got lucky with the 18" wheels...IMO they're so much better than the 17"ers that most have including myself. You've got a pretty rare car there. SRM is a 1 yr only color. I'm not sure how much you know about these cars and the differences between the yrs, but the red tail lights on your car don't belong. 2006's had different tails than 04-05 which is what is on there right now. If it doesn't bother you then don't worry about it but if it does you can normally find a pair on ls1gto.com or ebay. They're pricey for a pair of tail lights, though. People sell them for $300-ish but I found mine on ebay for $150. Good looking car though man.

yeah I know about the tail lights I personally like the look that it has with the lights I think it goes well with the color of the car kind of blend together I found the last owner and I'm trying to get in touch with him. He did a few things to the car and just would like to know more history about it. yeah I have wanted one of these for a long time and I'm learning that stuff for these cars is not cheap but they are built way better then the f-body's-my car 1 of 292 for 2006 2.09% of total year build of 13948

I sure you know you could look up the numbers on ls-1 gto I got lucky by finding to last owner of the car and talked to him about the history of the car he really took care of everything on it and I'm nothing but happy with the car compared to my old f-bodies not that there was anything wrong with them. I just think that the f-bodies are really the last of the old in your face muscle cars that can be made fast as hell for nothing

Yeah I'm pretty pumped. The dad of one of my brother's friend's told me about it opening back up a few months ago. He said it's going to be like a trial year or something to see if they can actually make money. He knows a lot about the re-opening since he actually used to manage the track like 15 years ago before they did the rebuild. I'm excited to try out the road course and strip now that I actually have a car worth taking.

Lol no biggie. Well obviously the Vette will do better in each in comparison to the Goat, but it's still a lot of fun. The pic I attached with my last post is actually of my buddy with the fastback and I at an autox event. It rained right before we started so it was wet and I still had a blast. The blacktop dried out for the 2nd heat and my times are proof of that lol. The fastback didn't do so well though...no power steering+tight chicane=HARD!
