Congrats. I'm about a year behind you but I'll be jumping from a 1996 CE (which I love) to a C6 convertible.

Great question..I wanted another silver. However, could not wait for an 07' but local dealer had new white 06 in lot...Parked my silver next to it....WOW...The white really shined, it is super clean looking and REALLY stands out. Had to do it. I will compare the Z51 to my former F55 in a few weeks...Thanks

Yes, the F55 car soaks up more road impurities under just about all conditions and handling is tighter. I must admit though I was pleasantly surprised by how good the base suspension is, it only starts to show its weakness when pushed to its limits.
