I took delivery of my 2008 vert on November 17, 2007. I currently have 130K on it. I worked for GM at the time and got the employee discount. I don't think I will get rid of it until it stops working or I do. I have been posting on the Forum since I got a used 02 C5 in 2004.

Still have my 2008.....watched it being built 11 years ago...still impressed with it. No C7 for me....not enough room and not comfortable. Unless the new C8 is roomy enough for us tall guys, the 2008 will be hanging out in my garage for another 10 years!

Awesome--love the white. I wanted a white convertible when I got my Blade Silver '09, but I got a great deal on it. That's cool you got to see it being built.

That is really a great looking car. For whatever reason I think convertibles look less dated than some coupes.
I am working on my third C6. The latest being a '12 ZR1 Black/Black. Minimal problems with any of them. Just a lot of tires. LOL.The ZR! is my twenty first lifetime Vette. I thought about adding a C7. But, they just never rung my bell. Too many tacky add ons. Too much hi tech to have to rely on. Maybe a C8 in my future. But, won t be giving up the ZR1.
My youngest daughter and I flew to Connecticut to buy the 05 because I couldn’t find one local without paying way over sticker. She gets it when I’m done with it.
Bought my 13 GS new from Mike at Criswell. it was one of the last C6’s built (Feb 2013) so it’s one of the best. Zero issues in 5 1/2 years of ownership. I plan to keep it forever and have zero desire to ever own a C7.

I bought my 2013 GS brand new. Back then there were many many other members who bought new C6's as well.
Seems many have moved on to C7's or even other brands. Seems a lot of the C6'ers here are now not the original owners.
So . . . . how many original C6 owners still hanging around here ?
Me! but i am waiting for the inevitable harmonic balance issue and every so often the
notorious "stuck in park" issue BUT after reading C7 issues not so much
A mixed bag follows. No, I don’t still have a C6 so strictly speaking, I’m not legal for this thread. But my 2005 C6 was the last of my 3 Vettes, traded at 65,000 miles in 2010 for my current 2011 CTSV coupe. The way I see it, the CTSV is a Vette powertrain in a somewhat less intense chassis. My wife would call it less obnoxious but still pretty uncivilized. Anyway, regardless of how you view the CTSV, I keep up with both C6 and C7 forums because they are among the best car forums, and who knows, I might someday get back into a Vette if they’d go back to styling as classy as the C6. Sorry C7 fans, while I like that version mechanically, I don’t care for its appearance.
Got our 2011 GS IOM coupe in Jan. '12 at Harbour Chevy in Michigan City, IN. She was a hold over with fifty miles. Love the car. A few hiccups along the way. Car- deer two years ago. Transmission cooler detonated in radiator end of June. With the new radiator and transmission, plus other SOP parts, she's practically a new car! 60,000 on the clock. Heading to Road Atlanta in October for Petit LeMans. Zoom, zoom!!
