Congratulations and good luck. I have driven several C6's and they do ride softer. The acceleration is a little crisper, assuming both cars are stock, and both have similar transaxles (automatic or manual).

I personally am not that enamored with the keyless entry and ignition. And I cannot still quite get over the full frontal view (nothing to do with exposed headlamps - and everything to do with the open grill area).

I'm sure you'll be very happy going from a 100K mile car to a brand new one.

Here's hoping the newness never wears off and that you love your C6 as much or more than you loved your C5! Best of luck to you!

What is your opinion of the paddle shift so far? Isn't it a automatic 6 speed?

That is exactly what it is, just imagine driving a stick but instead of reaching for the shifter and pressing the clutch- you just press the button and keep your foot on the gas the whole time. You NEVER miss a shift and there is no way I could ever beat this car with a MN6. Also, there are two drive modes D and S- the difference is in the programmed shift points, so far I have observed that D is more reserved and shifts like a normal automatic transmission would but S is NASTY- at WOT- every shift goes into the redline and it never misses! I bought the A6 for the convenience of an automatic for the daily commute coming off a C5 MN6. I never imagined I would get the best of both worlds!

Congrats from Trenton. How fun are those paddle shifters? Do you use them all the time? I didn't know the automatics were a six speed...nice!

okokok, i drove by, saw it in your garage, and rubbed my eyes, and a tear started to fall, then i thought you might have some of those parts laying around, so i'll be stopping by any day now.

good luck wit it john, now you can finally tell all the GCFHL that yours is shinier and faster than mine....for now!
