Surprised....
I don't know about you guys but I am very surprised of the number of people that are not long time forum member (no offense) didn't get there C6's first!
There's over 60,000 members and I'm seeing post from new members that just picked up there C6's?
Just thought the corvette forum members would be some of the first with new C6's.

Several long-time forum members have picked up their new C6s, but there really haven't been that many people that have gotten production C6s yet. You've also got to realize that there are not that many of the 60,000 you're talking about that are buying C6s.

In the "What kind of C6 owner to be are you?" survey, the never owned a Corvette bunch outnumbered C5 owners, and were over 40% of the total. Maybe the C6 has attracted a whole new generation of Corvette owners, just as the C5 did.
Of course, there are guys like me, who have been away for awhile, lost my orginal login and password, new computer and all, so I just rejoined under a new handle.

As much as I lust for a C6, I don't buy the first year of anything. Summer, 2006, we'll be driving a silver C6 convertible. 6spd, Z51, NO NAV! Until then, my '02 C5 will do quite nicely... Why be in a hurry? I can still beat the pants off quite a few cars in the Valley of the Sun.

I am definitely one of the new guys and>>
although the Vette has interested me for decades, the C6 is the first of the series that I have actually wanted to own... so I have a LeMans blue coupe on order but do not expect to see it until November or so...which is fine and rather exciting

Some of us are waiting for the next Z06 before making a decision...
As stated many times before, the C6 is evolutionary not revolutionary and does not make you feel like you to HAVE TO run out and get one. If you are ready for a new one, you'll probably jump. If your like me and still are having a blast with an '02 Z06, you'll wait a bit.
Either way, you are driving a vette!

We have 100 new members per day signing up on average right now. Just a guess, but I expect that many of the new members are new Corvette enthusiasts interested in the C6.

I've got a C5. I still have memories of all the problems that the car came with. Chevrolet doesn't have a good track record putting out a new model trouble free. I think I'll wait until until all the problems are known and see how many GM decides to fix.
