I've had a dream as well - my dream is that since October of 2004 I've owned two C6s, and none of them has been in the shop for anything.

WAKE UP!!!! Mine is not a dream - it's true

It will! Then when the "new" wears off, and it starts to seem slow, I'm
going to add more smiles to my face by adding headers, bullets, and a
procharger!

There is suppose to be an improvement in the Bose system and decreased road noise in the 2007. What are your comments?

GM going to reduce road noise? That means they'd have to admit they didn't use enough insulation (read excess foot well & tunnal heat) to start with ! Oh wait, I know. Marsh mellows in place of the run flats.
