Hey man that was one hell of an article in corvette magazine they did on your car (that was you right?)! Anyway you were sorta an inspiration for me, I dropped a procharger in last week and It,s a blast to drive!!!

As much as I'd really love to get a 2006 with the 6 speed automatic, that price difference is hard to swallow. Maybe in a year or two the 06s will fall a little closer in price to the 05s so that it's only a couple of thousand difference though.
But from everything I've read on here, it doesn't seem to me like the 05s are any more troublesome at all.

that expensive and overpriced. what options or mileage is on it for such a high price? I got mine with 3 miles on it ordered it from factory at that price or less for brand new 2005.

I hope you're enjoying that car, you got a fantastic deal on it!! I keep wishing someone would drop some money into my lap, there is a smokin deal right now on a loaded white 2006 coupe that someone is selling privately up here. Get this: it's got only 201km on it and he's selling it for $54,900!! Also, Humberview claims to have a Monterey Red 2006 automatic that they are selling for $56,995 (brand new but with zero options) Although the GM website doesn't show any more Monterey Red 2006s out there, so it's possible they sold this car a long time ago but just keep advertising it in the Trader anyways (I've noticed a lot of dealers here do that)
