When I got the car home from the dealer and went over the paint with some bright halogen lighting it was evident the the car had a lot of fine scraches probably caused by the dealer. Polished with Menzerna Micro Polish and a Metabo rotary. Applied Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. Let sealant cure 24 hours then applied Pinnacle Souveran paste wax.

My name is Carter, A couple of months ago I picked up my 2006 Z06 Silver 505HP Corvette! 6 Speed transmission and did I mentioned 505 ponies under the hood to get this moving? The car is stock and I will be looking for a few minor things (different radio with navigation). More prizes this time around so I'm entering again to role the dice! :)

Here is my 1987 C4 Convertible Corvette that I have owned since 2001 and have been restoring since. As previously mentioned in another post, the only thing left to restore is the interior (thats why I have no interior pics below). The car has been repainted, new top, engine rebuilt, various parts of suspension replaced with new. Oh and a new exhaust.

Thank you for taking a look. :D

Hi everyone thank you for looking at my 2006 Grand Sport Tribute Convertible, I have owned the car for the last 11 months, actually bought it Jan 07 used with only 6,480 miles on it. As we speak the car only has 8,100 miles on it. It's Lemans Blue exterior with Red interior. Nothing done to the car so shes stock with 400HP, 6 speed manual. She came to me with Black motorsport wheels. I have owned a few Vettes in the past and this one is by far my favorite!

Smokin Vette contest: Baby:This is my 1987 C4 L98 Corvette that I purchased a few months ago. It needed a few things but one of the previous owners must have loved her as much as me. I replaced the Bose radio with a CD pioneer with Polk speakers. Since the Bose door grille did not fit, I had to design and build new speaker grilles out of bathroom fan covers. Here are a few pictures of my baby.....jimhttp://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh172/arizonaames269/corvette2-1.jpg

Before my wife and I were married I owned a 65 327 365 hp 4 speed Glenn Green convertible with a white interior and top. I sold it because I thought I couldn't afford both, my wife and my Vette. Afterwards, she said to me, "I wish you would have asked me first, because I wouldn't have asked you to sell the Vette."

So after 40 years of marriage last year we bought each other a special anniversary gift, ...that's right another green convertible. It's not a 40th anniversary Corvette, but it is a low mileage 1994 C4 350 300 hp automatic with a beige interior and top.

I found it over the Internet, drove to OH and looked it over, made the original owner an offer, bought it and brought it home on a trailer. Have made a few minor repairs, but primarily have just enjoyed cruising on nice weekends.

Doesn't compare with those who have invested big bucks in their Vette's, but it sure is nice to be back in an original American sports car.

Hi,
Here is the best os the Best 2005 C6 TwinTurbo with over 580hp.
Many things been add to the car body been upgrade Lambo Doors many to list .enjoy the pics it will tell you all. by the way am from United Arab Emirates
