Whats considered high milage on a C6? My friend and I are both looking into vette for this spring and are considering both FRC C5's and C6 coupes.
On the C6 LS2 6spd cars is there anything out of the norm to watch out for with what I'd consider higher mileage for a sports car? There's one with 110k miles on it which for around here is almost abnormally high miles but I'm curious if there is any concern with that kind of mileage on a C6?
Are there any concerns on 06 C6's in general that we should be aware of to watch out for while I'm on the topic? I have my eye on a red 06 6spd that is near my mother in law in Arizona that I want her to look at on my behalf and if there are specifics to look for I'd love to generate a list for her. No worries she's into cars the first time I met her we went to a car show in Glendale with my now wife. Was pretty cool and I know she'll be tickled pink to do some 'test driving' for me
Many thanks.

I cant believe how cheap C6s are now adays. When I bought my frc stock about 5-6 years ago, and 05 C6 was still a lil over 30k.
the only flaw im aware of is the 05 C6 seems to have a weak rear end VS the other years.
Id opt for a C6 if I was in your shoes. Dont get me wrong. I love my FRC. But for the price you can get a full CNC'd ls3 top end, id go that route and bolt it onto the LS2.

I'm picking up an 05 C6 this Friday down in florida I'd say I'm excited but I'm kinda stressed about it. lol i'm sure on the 1700mile drive home I'll feel the happiness.

Deal is on hold as there's an open recall and I can't get it across the border 
Super frustrated.
its the 05 orange z51 that's for sale on here actually that I'm getting.
GM is a pain in my tush right now and I'm 'patiently' waiting for the recall to be closed as the work was done.

On Tuesday I picked up an Artic White 2009 C6 A6 3LT NPP exhaust car (16700 miles). Kind of surreal I was stressed out about it as well. It didn't really hit me that it was mine until getting up Wednesday and it still being in my garage. I still have my Trans Am and have owned an 06 GTO. I'm super impressed by the LS3, and they are actually getting affordable.
