Congrats, I may sell all of my beaters and get one, and use the C6 as my daily driver. I think the C6 can hold up to Cleveland's winters.

I think the C6 is a good look at the logical progression of technology. I admire C5s and C6s a lot! Nice car!

2th Farmer,

I don't hate you. I ordered and bought a '02 C5 new,(by the way it's black also) and it is used as a daily driver, but I still kept my first loves...both '71's. The new updated technology is nice, but unless you drive them constantly, you'll find that the battery drains dead!

Damn that's a nice car, I really want one too.

I tried to tell the wife "isn't this a cool car? (C5). And you can drive it to work!!! I'll just maintain it for you, and test the tires and stuff".................didn't work

I also concur with Jughead's comment. BTW, yes I am officially jealous. I'd have a new one to go with the old one in a hearbeat if I could.

Nice.

I have a triple black '05 that compliments the C2 & C3. Might I suggest some LG long tubes and a Calloway Honker. Oh yeah, and you'll need the rear view sticker that says "objects in the mirror are a lot slower than the car you're driving"......

Brent, Don't feel bad, After I took the GM plant tour when we were down in BG for CI VIII, I was pulling out my checkbook to get one of those Z06's I saw on the line. That is, till my wife said I would have to sell one of the C3's before I could get it. I told her if money was the issue, it would have to be more than one of them They train those tour guides to be pretty good salesmen

Very nice addition to the stable. Congrats.

The jump in tech is amazing from my 'old' 2004 Z compared to my '82 but I love to cruise in the '82; she's my favorite for putt'en around.

I'm curious though, why'd you pull the trigger on an '07 when the '08s have the 30 HP bump? Our local stealership has 6 ~ 8 2007's on the lot...suspect they will collect dust until some special pricing/finance comes along.

Got to see it up close in BG. I love the color combo that he got. The interior is awesome. It is a very nice ride Brent. I just wish I could put one in my driveway.

Too Viperish looking ... Maybe that lame looking SRT-10, but not the real Viper. This is the GTS I owned - Nobody ever mistook it for Vette >>


I still own an '82 CE (but don't drive it much with 454 miles on the odometer). I've owned C4 and C5 cars, and a C6. They do just keep getting better and better ... But there's just something about the C3. I guess I'm a sucker for nostalgia!
