That's a fine looking C6 you got. Hope you really enjoy the car.

Don't forget, when you go to the C6 forum, they will want to know what you do for a living.. kind of like joining a Corvette club.
I almost picked up a C6Z06 at an "auction" for next to nothing.
Still not quite ready I guess.
BTW, C ya.

Congratulations and I'm sure you will enjoy it. 
Having both a C5 and C6, I agree with your comment that the C5 seats are little nicer than the C6s. I'm guessing that you have a different suspension option in the C6 than you had in the C5 if you find the ride to be a little firmer in the C6. The C6 has a bit longer wheel base and a bit more suspension travel than the C5 which generally gives a somewhat smoother ride if both are optioned with the same suspension. There is a lot to like about both the C5 and the C6, and it is always a thrill to me to get a new car.

Congrats Tony and Welcome to THE DARK SIDE ! Enjoy your new ride.Having moved from a C5 to a C6 I know you will miss it for a while till you get accustomed to the diffrences between the two.

I dont think it was a good idea to post a picture of your beautiful C5 vert with your new ride.. IM sorry to say it looks like a trade down from my point of view..the C5 just pops.... like someone else said the C6 looks very passive. Its a nice car, and congratulations but like I said you should not have posted your C5 with the new car.
Gotta go with Bill on this one. I looked into doing the same switch, but just couldn't part with the lines of the C5. Hey- long as you're driving a Vette- you're still family. Don't forget to to your C5 brothers.

Sorry guys:
Traded in my MY 2001 Vert in on a black 2005 coupe. love everything about this new car. little firmer ride and the seats arent as comfortable but overall i like it. I will never forget my first vette. the yellow car was a great car.
