Default New 2008 Vert

First time I've been on the C6 Side of the Forum. Just wanted to say "Hi." I've had 3 C5s and 8 Vettes in total...so this is my first C6. Took delivery yesterday. Kinda' learning the ropes with this one. Handles a lot differently than my last C5 Vert...and with the LS3...a bunch more power. Still playing around with the "paddle shift" mode...yes, I bought a vert with an automatic...but I hear that the paddle shift is pretty cool...so I'll find out. It's Victory Red with a beige interior and beige top...maxed out options... I'm going to miss my C5s...but thought I would introduce myself to the C6 side of the forum. I know, need to change my avatar...got to take some pictures this weekend... By the way, Chevrolet is offering 0% interest for 60 months on Vettes...that's what pushed me over the edge to trade...Once again, thanks much to all of the Forum members and contributors...you're the best...

Congratulations. I also went from a C5 to a C6. No regrets. They are both great machines, but the LS3 C6 is one heck of a ride.

Enjoy the ride...Gene...
