Default C6 Security ?

Any need for an aftermarket security system ?

Are you current C6 owners satisified with your factory systems.

Anyone install a aftermarket system on there C6 ?

I'm concerned about towing + window breakage.

I always install aftermarket alarm sytems on my vehicles.
However the C6 offers fobs and push button starting - not sure these aftermarket units will interface properly with the C6 setup.

Sure they'll get it if they want it but I plan to order a vert. I want to make it as difficult as possible.

If factory system fails, I'm counting on crank/belt failure to stop the thieves!

Any of them can be stolen, but the Vett is not at the top of the list of most stolen cars. IMO

I know some of the newer aftermarket alarms have a pager built in where it lets you know if there is a problem with your car from a distance of 1/4-1/2 mile away. This would be a nice thing to have, but would a aftermarket alarm interface with the C6? I also wonder about the aftermarket alarm being more of a drain on the battery which allready seems to have had some issues on some of the C6 out there?
Any thoughts?

Thanks
