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!!

I think it is just the early innovators justifying their purchase. Give it some time and I think things will settle down.


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?

....thats my 2¢
Reality.....happens every change over....

"Mine's better than your's"...it's human nature and that's what we're seeing (and it's been going both ways) but it is no big deal and we're all the corvette family.

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.

that is normal, they are trying to justify the $ they spent for a car that is not that much different than what they had. Forget it and move on.

I think the answer is no. No C4 bashing occurred here when the C5s came out... 'cause the forum wasn't even here until 2 years later. LOL

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.

Not everyone but some do, I noticed it as I went from C3 to C4 to C5. Some guys bitch because the say C5 guys only wave to other C5,s and so on. Its a money/class insecurity thing. Don't let it bother you. theres an A--hole born every minute, do the math

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.........

I don't know about anyone else, but I wave to any Corvette. If the other driver doesn't want to return it, that is their problem, not mine.

Cheers!
