Default I bow down....

GM had some thing called AutoShow in Motion down here in MD (fedex stadium). You get to test drive ALL their GM products including the C6. I have got to say that the C6 is VERY impresive. I mean i could not get the grin off my face. I had to drive it twice. The 2nd gear in this car seems very vicous. They didn't let us take it to third gear since the track was not that long but it was an intresting curves and i fish tailed the first time i drive an orange one with bald tires. The 2nd one was a yellow one with good tires and man the instructor let me go at it. Handling wise, i will probably give it a little more than my z06. I am afraid that in the hands of an unskilled driver you can reck this car VERY quick. Hopefully the shape of the car will grow on in me few years. I have to say i have MORE respect now for the C6. Very impresive machine. BTW if anyone in MD is interested they are opened until Sunday the 15th. All you need is a driver license and view their video and you are good to go.

Way to go GM.
Gracias!

They make you view a video now? Last time I went to an ASIM (granted it was ~2 years ago) it was an invite-only, pre-register event, but you didn't have to watch some silly video.

Yeah...the video is about 3-5 minutes long. This was my 2nd one. I went thursday at 8:30am and there was hardly anybody there. Got to drive 6spd and auto versions twice around the course. It was a blast! I have to get a C6!!
