Default I'm back..........

I never really went anywhere I have been hanging out on the C6 Forum for awhile. I was trying very, very hard to "warm" up to the new generation. Some day I will. But, not for the foreseeable future. No bashing intended. But, the C6 just doesn't have the "Super Car" look of the C5. It looks chopped off. And, somewhat "ricey" looking. I think within in a few MYs there will be some changes to the front and rear. My SO agreed with me. The "Euro" Vette just doesn't cut it for me.

PS- All of the above is just my humble opinion. And, not meant to offend the "newbies" over at C6 General who think they bought a 50K Ferrari. And, I really like my C5 interior. Do I need some therapy?

I could not agree more on the C6, But I have never heard of anyone calling it Ricey only "European". Thats funny to hear.

Yes, unless you've already installed a new interior from Ken...
