Actually compared to the C5 , the C6 forum has very little to say about defects.

I have 1,500 miles on my 05 Z-51 with no known problems other than a little brake squeeling which I would rather live with than bring it to the dealer.

Most auto related forums attract owners with problems to see if other owners are having the same problem and what they are doing about it. I have noticed some new member's will make a post complaining about something. They will get some feed back and you never hear from them again. I like to hear how it worked out and what was done.
I'm one of many that after 7500 miles have had no problems.

I drive an A8 - probably an extra $30k over either non-z06 C6, and my breaks squeal too somimes.

So far, no problems at all. This has been one of the most reliable cars that I have had.
