Default SS #6666 is gone

and a new 08 silver corvette coupe has taken its place.
Picked it up last night

I think it has every option except the switchable exhaust function.






I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

That is EXACTLY what I want to the T, other than I want a 6 speed manual. Congrats on the new ride.

Very pimp! COngrats.

I have been feeling the C6 urge since the LS3 came out, but I'd have to sell one of my current babies to make room in my shop... so it's a dilemma.
