I had a very nice C5 before, had a 2010 Challenger R/T for the last year and just got my C6 a few weeks ago. I'm just blown away by how much nicer the C6 is than anything I've owned - and I've had something like 55 cars. It's head and shoulders above the Challenger in ever way - smoother to drive, more comfortable, better handling, better braking, better ride quality, and goes better - the only thing the Challenger has over the C6 is the seat is a lot higher so it's easier to get in and out. But that's not really a plus, since it makes the Challenger feel like you're in a 1/2 ton truck compared to the C6. The challenger is lowered and I think it's still a foot taller than the C6 - or close to it.

It's also easier to work on. I just did Bilstein shocks, a Billy Boat NPP retro fit kit and replaced almost all the bulbs with LED's - interior, side markers and SUPER bright high beams. Just waiting on my Radio Flyer harnesses to get here so I can replace the tails and DRL's with LEDs.

I'm just thrilled with this thing - I'm already finding excuses to leave the house just so I can drive it!

I realize I'm preaching to the choir, so excuse me for gushing - I'm just loving the car too much

Welcome to the forum. I’m on my 7th vette. I’ve gone through a couple of periods when I thought I was done with them.

In both cases I missed them. I just got my 2008 vert in March. I had been almost four years without a vette! I had enough. I traded my Sierra Denali truck and my vette is my daily driver. I work from home so I don’t have to drive every day but, like you, I drive every chance I get.

Welcome and enjoy the ride.

After 5 years of C5 ownership I bought my C6 very two weeks ago. It is fun! Still learning how everything works!

C5 was great, especially as our first Corvette, but the C6 is definitely a different beast!

I got my first C6 last month . I am sure proud to own it . They are a nice car . I hope you get out and have as much fun with yours as I do .

One vote up for the C6! How about some pics.

Sexy as hell!



Gorgeous interior and mirror-like paint

I've been too busy to take more pics, these will have to do for now.

I think the C6 is the best bang for the buck of any car on the market. Period. Reliable, too.

I know how you feel. I'm just at the beginning of my second season of ownership and still make up excuses to go for a drive. I find myself getting water bottles from the garage fridge just to look at it when there is plenty of cold bottled water in the house. Will this feeling end?

I've owned a Chevelle, a Grand National, a Challenger, and 7 Mustangs, but when I got my C6, I was instantly hooked!

I cant imagine ever being without a Vette from here on.

I had a C4 for 6 years, replaced it with a C5 which I had for 8 years and just bought a 2008 two months ago. I can truly say that the C6 is by far the best of any Vettes that I have owned.

Hey New Yorker, I'm up near Canandaigua.

The C6 is fairly easy to work on, tinker with.

The coolest? Perhaps.
But Steve McQueen's Bullitt Mustang still may have a chance at that title.

FWIW My C6 Vert is a very good car.
Blue Book et al values may have these car undervalued.

Very nice to see people who love what they drive.

Which color red is that? Magnetic red metallic?

Bruze

The rims look like stock '05-'07s, so it would be Monterey Red.
