Default My new Present!

Got it like a month ago, nevertheless today's my BD and I thought I share.

2007 A6 3LT Z51 all black, 4800 miles spotless beauty.

This is my second Vette. My last one was a 2001 C5 Z06. Well after 1200 miles, I'm in love with the new C6. Smooth, great handling, easy to drive, and great looks.

Compare to the C5Z, the C6 Z51 is slightly smoother. Handling is much more stable at high speed and on curvy roads. To me, steering feel is much better. Being an A6, this car is a lot easier to drive compared to the Z. Feels much faster to me too.

My C5Z was a base car so this thing is light years better. I love the heated and sport seats. Finally I don't have to use my legs to brace myself from slipping off the seat every time I take a tight turn. I will never buy another vette without sports seats again. I really like the HUD too. And my favorite feature off course is the removable top. I love my C5Z, and I now I'm in love with my new C6. Enjoy.

Congrats and happy birthday! Awesome color choice! Now you just need to replace the stock tires, swap your exhaust, install a supercharger... just kidding. Enjoy it being stock while it lasts!
