New C6 drive
Surprised myself, I thought the C6 would be very similar to my C5 but I drove a neighbors C6, and wasn't that impressed to tell the truth.
Plenty of pick up but it seemed to hesitate constantly. A4 tranny and seemed kinda awkward on the road and sounded like U-Joint thump already (bout 1250 miles). He said he had to get that checked.
Maybe it was just me. Right now I'll stick with my C5.
I guess the term "Just Comfortable" kicks in.

Haven't been able to drive a C6 yet, only sit in one. Hope to have that opportunity some day.

Sat in several but haven't driven one yet. The dealer wanted a deposit before I could drive one.
And I was there in my Z06. I just walked away.

One dealer in my area won't even let you sit in one. Of course I wouldn't deal with them if they paid Me.
