If I trade for a 06 SC430, Matador Red will be my choice

I won't, I would rather wait to consider the new redesigned one maybe in 3 years time, my SC still has very low mileage on it LOL. . .

I would like to see the matador red with the brown wheel insert and either camel or saddle interior i think that would be nice.

Default Sc 430 Great Car

Hi Guys New Guy Here. I Just Sold My 2004 Zo6 Corvette And Bought A 2006 Sc 430 White Pearl. Installed New Tsw's On It Today. Could Not Handle Gm Any More. I Loved The Car But Build Quality Was Terrible And Dealers Were A Nightmare. I Heard That You Could Order Superchargers For This Car, Are They On The Market?

Thanks, the white really shows the metal flake and a little gold. When I installed the chrome TSW'S it really set things off. Now I am waiting for the weather to get better so the driving can start.

Thanks

on a normal one your probally looking at around +5, a SRT intake with ECU is suposed to give +15 HP, dont think it has been dynoed on a SC430 yet but I think they have on a GS

I also have a black on black SC430 and have gotten comments from people that did not like the looks of the SC430, that it looks like a different car in black and they love it in black. I felt the same way. Funny the difference the color can make to the look of a vehicle. Mine also has the upgraded chrome wheels. I hate the beige wheels that they are putting on the 06's. I saw a light colored 06 at the dealer the other day, did not like what the light color along with though new wheels did to the look of the SC430. But taste is an individual thing. I love the looks of the 2003 up SL500's and the Black SC430 with chrome wheels has the same great looks. JMHO
