When I was a kid and saw the split window for the first time and I did not like it's looks. Now it's my all time favorite classic 'Vette. Everyone has an opinion but that's ok, because we all love our Corvette's. I owned an '81, '87, and now an '04.
They're all different.

I TOO HAVE DRIVEN CORVETTES SINCE 74, AND , IMO, THE C6 IS THE BEST YET, I ENJOY THE NAV, ONSTAR, XM, HUD, SIDE AIR BAGS,AND ALL THE OTHER GAINS THEY HAVE MADE. PLENTY POWER, GREAT HANDLING, AND BEAUTIFUL. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED??

THESE POSTS ARE GETTING RIDICULOUS....GO HOME THEN!!! THIS IS THE 4TH POST THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE LAST....WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR YOUR OPINION THAT THE C6 SUCKS...STAY THE HELL IN YOUR OWN FORUM FOR GOD'S SAKE.....OR SHOULD EACH AND EVERYONE OF US GO INTO THE C4 FORUM AND INDIVIDUALLY POST HOW GAY THE C4 WAS AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY IMPLANTED IN AUTO GRAVEYARDS FOREVER!!!!!

What motivates these people to come over here and rag on our cars?
Are these their thoughts?
Oh, it didn't lift my skirt, so I think I will go tell all the C6 owners their car is crap. I don't need to drive it, I know just from looking at it.
Unbelievable.

Don't get quite so vociferous unless you want some vacation time from the forum. We're all Corvette owners.

Gee, thanks for telling us why you don't like our cars. That was so considerate of you.

Even though the C6 is my first Corvette I still can not get over the C5 and would love to have one in my garage as well.

I dunno, jealousy, ignorance, closed mind, all of the above. So you look at something and subjectively don't like it, ok, but why then go and post to people that have that thing that you don't like it? Good way to start a fight I reckon. If a lady gets all dolled up and you thought she was ugly, would you walk up to her and tell her?

Some people are just "HATERS" by nature, doesn't matter the subject.

Part of getting older is realizing that cars aren't styled to your tastes anymore.

Hey ! Be cool ! You know something strange when I first got in the C6 and drove it . It reminded me of the '69 Stingray 427 ci I used to have . It had the same feel of power and handling , but now I know the C6 is so much better !

People who are tired of these "I don't love the C6" threads should stop posting in them.

Default C6 Isn't for everyone!

I had two C-4's and the C6 is really very special. Why do people who have different tastes feel so compelled to rain on our parade. Who cares!
