Hi C6 Family,

how do you feel about having a higher Seat Position than in a C5.
Seats- and All Interieurquality is much higher but in Opposite to my old
C5 I feel like "standing" in the Car now...

Somebody of U noticed the same?

I do not get that sensation. I'm sure you know you can adjust the seat downward. Thanks

One of the reasons I never purchased a previous Vette, it felt like I was in a pit looking at the hood. The C6 gives a better position not to mention more comfort.

I know the Reason-----
I Lost weight

No, Its because the seats are new and not "setthroug" as on my C5.

My New Baby (100 mls. silver Vert) is the BEST CAR I´ve ever had!!!

Don't forget that the C6 is 1 inch taller than the C5.

I'm lost on the meaning of a few words. What does "interieurquality and setthroug" mean.

If I don't know the meaning of a word, I always look it up. But these 2 words aren't in the dictionary.

Please enlighten me...thanks in advance!

SETTHROUG = 60.000 mls. in a C5 Seat is a lot to make the stiffness down. Springs and Leather will give you a lower Seatposition on the Driversside... ;-))

Intereurquality??? = is the quality inside a Vehicle. ;-))))

Hey, C´mon.
My English is`nt that well, I know that!!!

I kept the seat in my C5 at the lowest position. I keep the seat in my C6 at the lowest position, also. It definately is not as low as the C5.

But everything else about the C6 is equal to or better than the C5.
