Default Double Take!

I was on my way to get a haircut yesterday and as I was passing by one of the local Dodge dealers here, I noticed something really strange in their showroom. Not only did they have a shiny new Red Viper, but sitting right beside it was a shiny new C6! Quite amusing that a DODGE dealer would put a C6 in their showroom.

Guess they wanted to show what you get for 30,000 more.

Although I am a diehard Corvette man I would love to have one of each setting side-by-side in my garage.

That's pretty strange, but I think I have one that's even better. My local TOYOTA dealership has a precision red C6 in the showroom.

Here in Denver a local Mercedes deal had a new C6 priced at msrp. One thing I have noted. Back in the early summer I called around wanting to get on a waiting list for a C6. I was told that I probably woundn't get one until Spring 2005 because of the long lists, and many dealers were $10,000 over msrp. Now I am frequently seeing new ones at msrp. I backed out of the C6 waiting list when I saw the photos, interior & exterior, and specs and went with the 2004 Z06. The long waiting lists have disappeared and I'm wondering how many backed out for the same issues I had.

There was a black C6 in a Lexus dealer here in the metro-Detroit area.
