2023 C7 of the Year Winner - Unmodified
2018 C6 of Year Winner

Default Hello C6 General

I have been a CF member for many years and for the last 8 years drove a beautiful 2000 Convertible. Recently my wife and I made the decision that it was the right time in our lives to move up to a C6. I learned a lot about the C5's over the years on the C5 boards and I hope to gain the same knowledge about the C6 from the folks here.
I have owned and driven Corvettes for 42 years, but last night on the way home was the first time I have driven a C6. To say I was impressed and happy with our choice would be a huge understatement!

What we are regretfully saying goodbye to:


Our "new to us" 2010 Cyber Gray Grand Sport Convertible:

Wow - you truly 'moved on up' to a wide body Grand Sport - and a beauty at that !!! Love the subtle color shades on your paint/roof/interior combo - very classy, elegant.
