Default New C6 Owner
I traded my C5 for a new Victory Red C6 with the Z51 package last night. I spent most of today driving it. All I can say is WOW!. I'm taking a little easy (break-in), but the handling of the Z51 is fantastic.
I am looking forward to many miles of smiles in this car.

John

Your name has Z51 in it. Your avatar has the signature drilled rotors of the Z51. Then your post has the word Z51 twice in it and not much else. It's a bit much.

At least 817 Z51 C6s on this board.

"A bit much"???? I beg to differ, when it comes to the C6 Z51, you can't extoll the virtues and talk about it enough.
