I only got to drive it for like 30 min then it started snowing in Montana. I will let everyone know my first impressions once the weather clears up.

Welcome to the forums.
Believe nothing you hear, and 1/2 of what you see and you'll be fine.
By the way, that C6 of yours will perform a lot better if you remove the SUV from the roof.

Ok everyone I finally got to put some miles on him. The first impression was WOW. The car performs amazing. As you all already know. Got to try all the features the navigation was a little confusing but will get better with time. Love that the top comes off. Don't like the little trunk space with the other top in there but oh well. I did play a little taking the traction control off and active handling which makes a huge difference when getting on it. Will need to play a little more with that. Couldn't really tell a big difference between the sport and tour mode. From what I have read I just need more time behind the wheel to tell. Other than that it performs very well. I just need exhaust on it. I'm still a kid and it will have to be loud. Thanks everyone. Drive safe.
