Default Take me back!!!

I traded in my Z06 for a C6.
I love the car, honestly, I don't miss the Z at all.

What I do miss are the people, I'm having a difficult time getting along with the C6 guys, they are clueless.
What can I do????
I'm going nuts...

I'm hanging out in your section again

Elaborate. This should be good.

You are more than welcome to hang out here. We aren't generation stuck-up, in fact one doesn't even need to own a Vette to hang with us.

That's how I knew I was in the right place. I wanted a 'Vette, but you didn't make me feel like a shmuck for not owning one... yet.

And look at this! I buy a 'Vette and suddenly, after less than a month, I'm a "senior member"!!!

Here are some noticeable differences, both good and bad
The C6 is very quiet in the cabin
C6 seats are very comfortable
C6 is slower (for now )
I drag race with separate tires so I prefer the runflats for daily driving
Door locks are electronic
C6 HUD is better, it displays the radio stations when tuning, directions from the NAV, has 3 different modes, and a G meter
I hate how the windows index when you open/close the doors.
Push button start
Obviously the Z05 suspension is better, but unless you are tracking the car but are excellent on the street.
The roof comes off!
The headlights are incredibly bright
I'm not sure how much shorter the C6 is, but it is noticeably easier to park
The C6 body sytle does grow on you, I was scepitcal at first but now I love it, and after seeing it every day, when I look at pics of my C5 it appears dated.
