I thought it was going to be a good show so I tuned in at 9:00. eight min into the show I was looking for something else to watch.. A fishing show would have been more interesting.

The C5 did alot to bring Vettes more into the "mainstream" where the C6 polishes that image even more.

I'm just glad the Corvette didn't win midlife crisis car. These cars on this show were cool, but out of range for most of us average folks. That is the great thing about the Vette. You don't have to be really rich to afford one.
