Likewise.....welcome! I had previously driven a couple C5s (one which was heavily modded) and admired them greatly. When the C6 first came out....that is when it went from admiration to gotta have. I'm glad you got your C6. Drive safely and enjoy!

The first thing I noticed after taking delivery of my C6 coupe on 11/1/04 was how much more solid and powerful it felt compared to the 03 C5 coupe I traded-in. It had that "European Quality" feel to it.

the 6 spd is a major diff, short throw on the c6 is nice
