Default A/C Drain ?

Where is the drain for the A/C drain on the 2006 C6 Corvette? It has been 90 to 100 here in Florida this week and i cant see any water that drains out of the Vette after running the A/C for 30 minutes or even 1 hour of driving the car. Shouldnt it be draining out of the evaporator? If its not, than where is all the water going or staying at?

Mine drains a lot of water on these hot humid days. The drain must be clogged.

If it's plugged the water will drip inside. Most cars drip on the passenger floor. Better check, there is a lot of electronics there.

Look on your garage floor behind the front wheel and right of centerline.

I just checked the passenger floor board. Not water at all. I pulled back the panel where the fuse's are and its not wet and no water standing anywhere in vehicle. After the car has been in the garage for about 1 hour there is about 2 table spoons amount on the garage floor. But is under the middle of the car. I followed the big hose that comes out of the box that the filter is in behind the battery and it comes out right behind the right wheel inside the fender. But it is completly dry. I checked and cant see where it would be clogged. Why would it be clogged anyways. I only have 600 miles on the car and it has never been under trees or even in the rain yet. It is garage kept.

Just figured it would be more than that. Since i have had the A/C on 60 deg. for about 1 hour of driving around at the beach. Heck its 98 here today. Plus it took almost 1 hour to get 2 table spoons worth to hit the concrete. But if yall thinks this is normal than i will believe you guys. I have only had the Vette 3 weeks. Thanks
