Ever?

When I started lurking around here late last year, this forum was a wealth of information on what was to come. I got so fired up, I ordered my first Vette on 12/2 and took delivery on 2/4. The updates from Marvin were the best. As people began to get their cars and post photos, the excitement continued to build. Then Kevin sent my VIN#. Then THECORVETTEMAN was on line as my car rolled off, started it and saw to it Kevin e-mailed me photos of my car at the plant.

I took delivery with shaking hands and stalled it twice on the way home due to nerves. The day I took delivery was on of those beautiful So Cal Winter days, about 75 degrees. I took the top off and cruised PCH. It was a Friday and I took the day off. I drove to all of my friends homes to show off, but, alas, they were at work.

Now, I relish any chance I get to drive the car. I enjoy the Zaino process and find it very enjoyable. But, I also enjoy mowing my lawn.

I still enjoy this forum and all of the info here. I won't be doing any hp mods or quarter miles. I hope to go to Spring Mountain this year and get to Laguna Seca one day. However, of late I find thread after thread critical of the C6 and what shoulda, woulda, coulda been done. Suggestions, complaints and just plain bitching. Now, people asking for assistance with an issue is different.

I guess my point/question is, Is anyone completely satisfied with their C6 as is? I know I can't be alone. My experience from order through today has been outstanding. I love this car and glad I got it when I did and wouldn't change a thing. That is all.

 

I Am!



I will however do some CUSTOMIZING to my taste!

 

YES! YES! YES! Oh GOD YEEEES! Thank you, I feel better now

 

Completely Satisified and will be adding to it

 

We are all striving for better things in life, this is what life is about, human nature I guess . As long as its constructive and not obnoxious, the forum goes on and on and....

 

So, then your answer to my question would be, No?

 

People don't post how much they are pleased. They only usualy post when there is a problem.

I'm sure most people are happy.

 

I'm very happy with the car but it's not perfect. And in some areas, it's not as good as it should be, IMHO. Would I buy it again? Yes. Do I have complaints? Yes, but they are relatively minor. Even though I dropped 50 large to buy the car I try to be objective about its strengths and weaknesses not rationalize away the cars shortcomings. That's why I enjoy the differing perspectives on this forum.

 

I hope to be.....3/29

 

"When Harry met Sally the C6", huh?

 

Yes im happy but i have had good experiences so far. Drive the car any chance i get cause its so great. Just with any product some people will get defective ones or have bad experiences. FWIW

 

I just got in the door from a 200 mile drive and I can't wipe the smirk off my face. It's the best Corvette ever and I've owned them for 33 years. Is it perfect? Almost. I had the battery problem and the squeaky roof. Both were easy fixes. The car handles great and looks great. Accelleration is exhilarating and the car is even fuel efficient. With the Z-51 6 speed it's a blast to drive. It looks much more exotic in person than any picture can depict. First new car I've ever bought and I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. It's a world class car!!

 

Thanks for your reply! I think you missed my point. Yes we are happy but the car we now enjoy is due to great comments/recommendations made from folks like us.. We just cant wait to get the next great vette!

 

You cannot make some people happy no matter how hard you try. I’m very happy with my C6 .It is like the glass is half empty or half full

 

 

I have had several Vettes and without a doubt, this is the best one. But asking a Vette guy if he is satisfied is like asking a surfer if he has found the perfect wave!

 

The c6 is a good car in the continuing evolution of the breed. It has some shortfalls and you have to consider the bang for the buck and what you forfeit when you spend only $50k for a world class sports car. With my budget, I'll never buy a $200k Ferrari, but then if I did I'm sure I'd find some reason to criticize that one too.

When you ask for "complete" happiness, I can't answer yes. but I can say I'm very happy with what I got for what I spent and I enjoy driving it every chance I get.

 

Wow, Excellent comment..

 

DITTO!!

 

Except for the orange peel.
