Default Test drive in new C6

Well I had to do it. Why not test drive a new C6? The price was good and the car looked great. Too bad I didn't like it. None of the raw feeling of the C4. Too well behaved and no road feel. Also, everything is electronic, even the door latch. The dealer even had to bring out a battery cart to jump the car off before it would start!
I guess I'll just get the old C4 painted and keep it.

I have a LT4 and my buddy has a C6. I can concur with your feelings. We even raced from a 15-20 mph rolling start. He only pulled maybe 3/4 car length on me to 120. But that being said the C6 is closer to that jetfighter cockpit sports car feeling than the C5. And there is no denying that the C6 is a far superior designed car and a much more capable car. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the pocket book!

My wife has a C-6 but my C-4 is still alot of fun to drive. No it doesn't have the power or the refinement of hers but it still feels like you wrap it around you when you drive it.
