I have owned a C3 and now a C5 and will own a C6--they are all beauties!!! A lot of the C6 guys are are pretty hyped right now and I sure don't blame them. There are also a lot of C5 guys taking cheap shots at the C6--I don't get it, I just love Vettes!!! 
..and peace!!

BTW, I see you are from Chicopee. My fist job (way back when, in high school) was at the Radio Shack across from WHYN, by the Springfield/Chicopee line. Is it still there?

Like most here have said, who really cares? Ask the soon to be coupe owners if they like all of the recalls that will happen with most 1st year model changeovers. Either way, I know I own one and couldn't be happier. Just enjoy the ride and remember to wave....even if they don't wave back.

Of course, being fairly new myself, I could be totally wrong. If that's the case, then please just shake your head at my ignorance and move to the next post.

Many, when they have purchased the latest and greatest 
they feel they have to down grade thier leftovers. Even though they praised them not even 6 mos before. Why? As someone put it " to justify thier purchase", just like buying MODS.........
