The C6 bug really got to me and I bought this 07 6 speed Z-51. It is amazing what 34 years of engineering has done to these wonderful cars. (A FEW more creature comforts than my 73) The C6 is a GREAT car and I for one am glad Chevrolet keeps uping the ante!!

We don't hate you because you got a C6. We hate you because we want one too.

Beautiful car! I have the same bug, it just hasn't bit hard enough yet. The only thing holding me back is that I will not part with my '72, so the wife and kids will need to understand that 2 vettes are really required!!

Good luck,
Dino

I think these are the best looking Corvettes since the '68-72's. Man.
Congratulations.

Brent,

Congrats on the Z51 C6. Beautiful! Are you telling us there is a difference between driving the 73 and the 07? Lol. See you at Carlisle.
