Default Omg!!!

Pictures do this car no justice I saw it for the first time today in the form of a machine silver coupe,and all i had to say was WOW! This car is 100% Corvette but in its own exotic type of way, especialy in person. I honestly think this is one of (if not the coolest) cars ever built. Its beautiful, simply beautiful. I urge you all to not bash this cars looks until you see it In person.

Glad to hear you've got another one on the way. Surely the new one will look as good.

Yep.. I'm in a good mood! Got lucky today and placed the order for THIS PULL at under invoice EDIT WOOPS under MSRP!. Should be looking at 5 weeks. My guy did me right. Going with Artic White this time. (that way I will have owned two "different" C6's )

I went to pick up my wife where she was helping with a charity golf tournament and parked in the clubhouse lot of this upscale course. Lots of high dollar cars in lot. I'm not entirely objective here, but it's surprising to see how good the C6 looks against everything else.

The C6 is ALL Corvette. I've owned every generation Corvette except C1. I can readily see hints of them all, plus its own distinction.

I ordered right after seeing the first one in person.

Corvettes are

I was skeptical until I saw one for the first time last night. Dammit, this may be very painful to trade in the 01.

It's amazing how good silver looks on the C6. And the silver verts are all

I passed one going the other way on the highway last week, it was silver, and I thought it was a Ferrari. Don't see too many Ferrari's on the open highway, so I did a double take, checked out the back as we passed, and it was a C6...damn.

Saw a black one at the dealers a few weeks ago, got to sit in it and give it the once over. I think I will be happy with one...probably in about 2 years.

i agree 100%, this car is on another level, it takes ALOT to impress me like the c6 has (look wise atleast, cant even imagine how hooked i will be when i finally do drive it), its probably my second favorite car next to the f40, i am truly awed by this corvette. Thanks GM, Never thought i would say that....heh

Congrats to all the C6 owners, i envy you all! waiting for the LMB coupe!
