Default Comments from a mid-year owner

I saw the C6 in person last night. My first impression is that this is a stunning, exotic, and sleek car that screams excitement everytime you look at it. Congradulations to all current owners. Anybody waiting for their car will not be dissapointed. I wouldn't give up my car, but now I have to think about filling the other gararge space.

I have had my Mag Red C6 for three weeks. It is my first Corvette and I love it. The car is stunning and the pictures do not do it justice. I get alot of looks and am even followed by people who want to see the car. There are alot of closet Corvette lovers out there. I even had a young couple follow me on the interstate and pull in front of me when I was going 75. The young woman passenger stuck half her body out the window and was taking pictures of my car. Some people think the front end resembles the Viper and they like the redesigned back end.

When the C5 came out, I remember adjusting my speed on the road to get a better look at that car. Other than in my dealer's showroom, I have yet to see the C6 out on the road. Mine may be the first C6 I do see on the road. I'm more than OK with that.

Each generation brings a history with it, and adds new and better design elements, features, comforts, technology, etc. Truly a world class sports car, and America's premier sports car. Can't wait till I add my C6.

As a fellow Midyear owner I totally agree with you. When I finally get my C6 I will have 4 Vette's in the garage.
