Fan Friday: Mike Ragels' 2007 C6 Corvette

For many, owning a Corvette is a lifelong dream — and for Mike Ragels, that dream came true with this gorgeous 2007 C6 Corvette. Finished in a sleek black and paired with polished five-spoke wheels, Mike’s Vette looks every bit the part of an American performance icon.

This sixth-generation Corvette is powered by the legendary LS2 engine, a 6.0L V8 that delivers 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque — all sent to the rear wheels through a manual transmission, giving Mike full control and pure driving engagement every time he hits the road.

Mike purchased the car about three years ago with just 35,000 miles, and it’s been far from a garage queen. Today, the odometer reads around 57,000 miles, and according to Mike, she runs great. It’s not just a car — it’s a realization of a childhood dream, and that joy is evident in every mile.

The 2007 model year continued to refine the C6’s legacy:

• Lightweight design and near 50/50 weight distribution made it a balanced performer.

• The LS2’s power delivery made it one of the most capable naturally aspirated Corvettes of its time.

• Targa roof and sculpted body lines gave it the classic Corvette silhouette, with modern attitude.

From its aggressive stance to its personal significance, Mike’s Corvette is more than a machine — it’s the payoff of a long-held goal, the kind of story that defines Corvette ownership.
