Default C6 is a FOO FOO CAR!!!!!!!!! (Funny Story)

Well,

Here is the story. I went to the dealer to show my girl friend the new C6. A little about her, she is 105 lbs size 0. The gay guy at the eyeglasses place called her a Foo Foo girl. She is the biggest girly girl on the planet.

Well, she takes one look at the C6 and says, "You want to get this, it is a bigger Foo Foo car than the s2000. " I can’t believe you would trade your manly car for a girly car. " I started feeling like I was going to need some Viagra.

Well, I'm keeping my manly car. In fact, I had already come to that conclusion. But, boy does this firm thing up for me.


P.S. For thoses that lack a sense of humor. This is ment to be funny. I have nothing against the C6 myself. I can't believe I need a disclaimer.

I don't agree, and this stuff gets posted in the C6 section all the time. What do you guys think about the possibility of the C6 Z06 version (with kick azz performance) making people think C6 styling (headlights and front fascia) is kick azz?

I might get flamed for this but this seems to happen with all the new gen corvettes. The people who don't have one have to criticize the hell out of it. The C4 people, and I own one of those also, did the same with the C5. Now some C5 people are doing the same with the C6. Look, all corvettes look good period. When they become more affordable down the road 90% of C5 people will have obtained a C6. Then when the C7 arrives the C6 critics will be out again slamming it. Hey man, it's a Corvette and they just get better every generation.

I thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

As far as this being a C4, C5, C6 thing, She has no idea what is what, thats what made it funnier.

The only thing that would have been better is about 20 corvettes guy's standing there when she called it a Foo Foo car.


I think most of us like the C6 just fine. I do. If a I wanted a new vette I would get one, almost did.

Just thought I would share something that I found truely funny. If you don't thats cool, skip to the next thread, theres plenty.

Take Care,

Good point. From what I can see the C6 Z06 is hardly a girly car, whatever that means.

maybe in performance, but the look is the same as the C6

If I spend $20K MORE on a vette than the base model, I want to NOTICE the difference when it drives by

Could be true - I wouldn't know. My 2K2 Z06 is the first Corvette I ever purchased. (Paid cash for it too - go me!) My brother is the Corvette nut in the family - personally I prefer German engineering. That being said, the Z06 was bought because of two things - looks and performance. The new C6Z is fugly, so I couldn't care less how fast it is. That being said, I didn't like my brother's C4 or C3 either. So I guess what I'm saying is, the C5 Z06 is the only Corvette I ever liked. I'll be keeping it around for a long time I suspect but I won't be buying a C6Z at all ever for any price. Hell if they gave the thing to me I'd take - and then immediately sell it. Just my two cents worth.

I am undecided until I drive one. These corvettes have a way of growing on you with time. Take Ms. FOOFIE for a spin and show her what it is all about. I would suggest the C6Z06 to make the physical impression a lasting one in her seat when she is begging you to pull over so she can touch the ground again.

My dad would put a 20.00 on the dash and see if I could reach it while he banged the LS6 Chevelle's gears. I never touched the cash in that torque monster car and no one will be able to in the new Z06 either!

That's ok. When I got my first C5 my 53 year old mother asked me why I got it and told me it was an old man's car

Yes, she is a Foo Foo girl, but she is unshaken by speed. At 150+ she was having a ball. Now, the curves marked 30 that we took at 80 was a little different story.

GM had a shot to go after the masculine looks of the Dodge Viper front end with the exposed headlights, but ended up making the C6 look more like a Mazda instead.

OK, but is it a bigger Foo Foo car then a Miata? That's the real test. Or a BMW Z3.

I haven't even decided if I like the C6 Z06 yet. I'm seriously
considering getting the cam/headers, etc. to get the C5 Z up to
500 BHP and being content with that. For the approximate drive-off
price of the C6 Z06 I can keep my car, mod it and pick up a second C5
Z or perhaps a C5 FRC.
