Talking New LS1TECH project car! C6 Vette

Well, if the numbers look good in person this Saturday, I'll be driving home in a brand new 2005 Corvette. I'm selling my '02 Convertible SS tomorrow, and replacing it with the new toy.

Black paint on red leather
Comp Gray optional wheels
6-speed (of course!)
Z51 suspension/brake package
clear roof option
1SB loaded package

It looks exactly like this one:



I can't wait

Tony

32. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I was already making $40K about a year before I graduated, they hired me as an engineer on my jr year. Of course, that salary has doubled since then.

I hope those numbers work out for ya. That is one nice looking vette. I hadnt seen comp. gray rims until I came across a red vette with them on ebay. I think its a nice change. Different is good at times. Your monthly payments for vehicles must be high. So many vehicles. On a side note, I didnt know a website like this could pay so good....lol
