C6 Torture!
I'm not a vette owner...yet, but my username indicates the wannabe status, lol. It's just a matter of time, as I intend to have one by the time I retire in 27 months (dunno if it'll be C5 or C6). Anyway, I was at work today, ground floor office facing the street. I rarely look outside, but saw the sun shining through the mini-blinds and decided to take a peak. I had to gasp.....because parked across the street by Meier and Frank (upscale department store out here in OR) sat a drop dead gorgeous C6 vert in Daytona Sunset Orange and black top. Gawd, I moved some paperwork to the window, opened the blinds, and just stood there pretending to read, so I could gape at the beauty. The only C6's I have seen in Salem have been the two at the local dealership's showroom (no test drive), blue and red. I was surprised the DSO is not that orange, more coppery and rust, and just awesome. Yeah, it was an orgasmic 15 minutes while the car was parked there. I wanted to go out and wait for the owner and ask some questions, but duty called. With the cashmere interior, that DSO is simply spectacular!! Well, I rambled. You folks who own C6's are very fortunate - give thanks. AND Happy Thanksgiving!!

I agree with your assessment of the C6. Yesterday, I was leaving my parking garage after work, I had the top off my 06 vy coupe and a young lady was crossing the street near me. She called out "nice ride". I find lot's of people just look and smile when they see the car. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

For what its worth, of all the corvettes I've owned since 1961 the C5 was the worst and the C6 is the best (at 24,000 miles so far) !!!

I was looking at an early retirement, maybe 6 months out, and I hate my job. Then I got the C6 bug. Well, I decided to work a couple more years and buy the vette, Things have really gotten interesting. I vacation 4 times a year already, but this is really differant. Go buy one.
Ok.. One for the boys... I was getting gas at a busy station behind a SUV. No big deal and my back it turned towards the rear, pumping gas.
I turn towards the front and catch 2 hotties in there 20's, like a deer in head lights stairing at... well.. must be my rear...
... damm..
