I think you guys need to understand that the C6 euro-styling will attract first-time Corvette buyers who are not into the history or brotherhood of the car.

Also, I see A LOT OF POSTS in the C6 section that seem to be from teenage non-owning newbies - that for some reason are given a friendly handshake over there - instead of the boot (like they'd get in the C5,4,3, 1&2 sections).

"Squid" is slang for Navy personnel.

They usually don't.

People start the "I don't like the C6...." threads here, in the C5 section, and a mod later moves it to the C6 section.

So all the C6 guys think the C5 guys are going there to attack their cars, when in fact that's not the case at all.

I think a misplaced topic of this nature would be better off locked than moved. It would keep everyone happier in the long run.

That would be due to the fact that the C5 section is for C5 posts and likewise for the C6 section. However, I'd say about half of the bashing threads over there are started there to begin with. And usually by C5 owners and the occasional C4 owner.

Sometimes it is. Not like over here in the C5 section is that far away, being the same forum and all.

I understand and agree with that, which is why I suggested they just be locked.

My point....take for example the 3 threads today that were started here and moved to the C6 section. They shouldn't have been moved there. The mod has to realize nothing good will come of it. All it does is **** the C6 guys off, and I don't blame them.

Not saying this is the case every single time, and of course some of the C5 fanatics still wander to the C6 sections, That's totally different.

What we need are more cross-generational C1/C2/C3 fights.
