Enjoy! I went and test drove a C6 Z06 the other day and then read many post on the good and bad. Decided to put a S/C on my C5 instead of buying the C6 even though it is am awsome ride.

Well it's a pretty awesome car, in just about every way. Power and all the latest technology. I loved the C5, was my first Vette, '03 had it for 4 yrs and had a great time with it. It took this to make me move from the C5, if I was going to change it had to be something special. This opportunity came around and just couldn't pass and was fortunate to have a wife who said yes again!!!

My Wheaten, Beamer, made it to 16. I couldn't have asked for a better pal.
