Enjoy it, I had a C6 for a bit. I like the C5 a bit better, both are fantastic cars, minus the crappy seats of course.

I may have spoken and started celebrating too soon, My friend ,Buddy maybe enemy, is now thinking of putting the car in Temperature control storage.
I'll know in two weeks. In the mean time I've come across a 2009 C coupe for a pretty decent price,but it's not a Z. I feel like I'm losing a great girlfriend.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a C6, unless it was a Z. Just don't like the chopped off ***-end, but the body differences on the Z make it all better. Just a thought, and it'll keep the wifey happier; look at C5Zs. Lots more performance than you're used to, at a great price.

Yeah, the chopped off rear is kind of funky.I'm also not thrill with the interior of the C6. Kind of cheap looking. I guess they had to cut back on some things in order to get all that performance and still keep the price decent.
