Turning Radius
I had a '01 c5 for three years(i lease for business reasons) and i know the c6 is 1 inch narrower,but not on the inside, so my question is, do you guys find the C6 to have a smaller turning radius and do you find the car to look/feel a lot narrower - its like its easier to get into a parking space - but this is just a gut feeling, not based on any facts. anyone else?

Didn't have a C5, so I just have the facts, not a gut feeling that you were asking for. The turning circle of the C5 is 42 ft., the turning circle of the C6 is 39 ft.

thanks guys - i guess it's just me- maybe its the different suspension/body that makes it just feel tighter - the easiest way i can describe it to my brother and dad is that the z51 feels like one entity, not an assembly of parts-either way, i love it.thanks once again

about trying to put it in a tight spot.I'm with you John. I feel exactly the same way.
