Two is always twice as much fun - heck, until we sold the C4, we were at 3 - wife takes the C5 as hers, I get the C6. I expect when the C7 comes out, we will do the same thing - - sad part is the C5 is much more reliable even though the C6 is more technolgically advanced. Too many BS problems with the C6 (DBS, creaks/rattles, DBS, DBS, etc).

I am thinking the same thing right now. I was thinking of a zo6 or coupe so I can take it out more often than I do the vert.

Of course. If I were you, I'd probably use one as my [drag] racer and build the sucker up as much as I could, and use the other one as a more driver friendly vehicle that still has some pickup.
