Push & Pray
I have 1200 mi on my new C6 since I bought it new in July.
Every time I get in & go to start it I never know if it will start or not.
The gauges go on and nothing happens. I wait 15 seconds (like the manual suggests) and then try again. Has anyone else had this problem?

But if you guys with the new C6's keep posting your questions over here about those start buttons, you probably won't see us joining you over there very soon.

Push, pull or drag that thing into the dealer's service department and make 'em fix it. We are saddled with these old cars that have an old fashioned key. In fact mine is so old that it has a crank that I have to turn in the front - behind the license plate holder...C6's don't have those either (license plate holders)....

They should be able to come up with a solution.

Back whe I was just a teenager, I re-wired my '68 Chevy pick-up with a push button starter button... Just like we had on an old '53 Chevy pick-up... from the FACTORY!!
Technology has come such a LOOOONNGGGG way!!
Oh yeah, some of the mid 50's pick-ups and trucks had a starter pedal on the floorboard that we used to heel-toe with the gas pedal... Yes, really...
