Amazingly the only complaint I have is the seats. Now the only question is how much?

Not much detail at all on the changes for the C6R. Is GM just keeping it secret
or were there not really many changes?

Will the C6-R handle much better than the C5-R?

Will it be much quicker?

The car is always an evolution and improvement. Here is a picture of the C6R at Sebring on Jan 10/11. Wait? wasn't that the same time as the yellow one was shown at the Detroit Auto show??
