I am actually in the market for a new "toy" before I order up a C6. I plan to try to get a C6 convertible (we will see) in late summer, but am looking for something for the mean time. I was in an accident back at the end of '05, which has caused me to look for a new daily driver. My wife has OK'ed a two seater daily driver although we have 4 kids (one kid is driving), but we still have two cars that will haul six.

I have been looking at a bunch of '03-04 Z06s, but am considering my options. I am taking the wife this evening to take a 2nd look at a '03. Yellow, of course.

But damn, that Calloway sure is nice. My problem is the daily driver thing. Kinda relagates an awesome car to pheasant status.

...I bought the car for my wife - I am sure most folks here could handle the machine. It is a bit much for her, as she drove it a few times and said she likes her SUV

If you could afford the gas, it could be a daily driver
