If I am fortunate enough to own a car that most will only dream of how can I **** and moan about petty little nothings? JMO

Drifting
1. It's not paid off yet
2. Can't go over 1/4 throttle without the possibility of going to jail for going 50mph over the speed limit
3. All the idiots on the road that are in my way constantly
4. Not enough 10 mile straightaways in America's highways.
5. I have to get out of it to eat and go to the bathroom.

The poor clutch hydraulics.
The fact that a mustang GT has a better sounding exhaust than my Z06.
Factory NAV is awful

Only major annoyance has been a oil pan leak! LSx engines are notorious for this problem and it should not happen! Car is an 06 but only 20k miles on it. It's a poor design and should have been addressed by GM a long time ago! It's also a MAJOR PITA to repair because the entire cradle must be dropped and car re-aligned! Special fixtures are required to hold the engine in place so it doesn't smack into the firewall. That's very poor engineering imo.
Dealer did it recently but is going to have to do it again because it wasn't done perfectly... I simply CAN NOT stand cars that drip oil... yea it's very minor but it's embarrassing to park at a friends house! Not ACCEPTABLE and it cost north of 700 bucks to fix a simple oil leak.....

I couldn't agree with you more! On all 5 points, although I would move #1 down to #5 and bump everything else up a notch.

I kinda thought the A6 would shift faster, so kinda wishing i would have just got the 6 speed now. Car handles amazing, brakes amazing and feels pretty good all around. should hold me off till i get my z06 in a couple years. prices need to drop just a touch more.

Both the base radio and the Nav unit do not have enough screen space to show me both the name of the song that's playing and the artist at the same time.
I miss that from my Camaro and my wife's Equinox.
Only thing I dislike about my 6th Vette.

There are many things that could be improved upon but overall there isn't anything I really don't like about the car.
You don't have to get out of the car to eat. As for going to the bathroom...you could be 'creative' but I'll give you that one.

I can't find the switch to turn off the heated cup holders...they are great for coffee or hot chocolate, but no so much for cool drinks...
i can see the switches for the seats, but not so much for the cup holders...

I know this may sound weird, but I get tired of the attention it draws. Like the motorcycles, mustangs and ricers that feel the need to over-rev when they pass. I sometimes like the blend in with the crowd feel I get with my Tahoe.
As far as the car itself, I don't like the seats (cheap), seat belt rattle on the passenger side (I know, just clip it), power top takes forever to lower/raise and wish I didn't have to hold the button the whole time (anyone know a trick here?).
In the end I'm addicted to the performance, style and heritage of Corvettes, so don't really care much about the negatives.

I love my 05. It's fast, looks great but I blew up 2 engins, it creaks and moans over curbs and the seats are terrible. I will drive this thing until the wheels fall off

1) Listening to the front airdam scrape every time I back out of my driveway.
2) The care necessary to enter and exit every driveway, everywhere, all of the time.
3) The care necessary to avoid parking bumpers, curbs and speed bumps in parking lots.
4) The extra effort needed to get out of the car.
5) The cargo space that's lost when the targa top is off and stored in the back of the coupe.
6) The windshield rear view mirror and the OnStar box blocking my view out of the front windshield.
7) The restraint necessary to drive the car on the street legally, and avoid moving violations.
These issues are probably why most of these cars just sit, unused in their owner's garages. Even with an automatic transmission, these cars are not good daily drivers. They are real cool toys though.
