Holy cow! This guy posted a reasonable thread meant to encourage interesting discourse about what is expected/needed/will be provided in the new car. He neither mentioned his Z4 nor compared the new model to any other vehicle. It's one thing to jump someone for posting a thread to incite arguments, but quite another to add the inciteful comments yourself and then ridicule the other poster.
Everyone, keep your bashing to a minimum and we can get back to enjoying the site. This is the reason I had jumped ship so many years ago and have only recently returned.

Sarcastically admitting to prejudice does not justify it. Intentionally harassing another member because you dislike their previous posts, opinions, or behavior provokes future hostility. If I have in some way misread this post or any of the other thoughtless bickering in this section, please enlighten me by logically (with references to specific threads or posts) educate me. As for the relevance of this thread, Bucky, in an open forum-type scenario, it would not be fruitless to ask the question : "How far has GM moved forward?" Other recent threads referenced the new Tesla, stop/start in European sports cars, and other uses of VVT, cylinder deactivation, and the like. It is perfectly reasonable to compare a vehicle to its predecessors as well as its competitors. The C6 has been (in some ways rightly so) called the C5.5 because of the similarities with the C5. In that case, there was so much carry-over in suspension geometry and driveline design that one couldn't help but make the comparison. Both cars are excellent and I consider the C6 a step forward. It was not the same step forward we saw with the C4/5 transition.

Come on now guys. Lay off Colorado C6. We have found out recently he has mental & physical challenges, and now found out that he has different preferences then most of us.
We should all support people that are physically & mentally challenged along with understanding people in his community.
Colorado C6 lets see that picture of you in the pride parade driving that little car with the top down.

The Forum should be a place where we treat one another with civility so that it remains a fun and friendly place to hang around with other Corvette enthusiasts. Hostility to others is rude and inappropriate.
Personal attacks cannot be tolerated. Attack ideas, not fellow Forum members.

I find many, if not most of CoC6's posts offensive and do not support him. But I will never attack him personally as should any of us. Please attack his arguments, not him

Colorado C6 has told us he is unable to take the top off his old Corvette. If you read his posts you will clearly see the issues. My post was nothing but supportive.
If you infer something different that is sadly on you.

No Carver, your lead in sentence is very transparent thus the purpose of your complete statement is what is at issue.
Jackhall99, well stated, not a personal attack, and I thoroughly agree.
Please everyone, perceived personal attacks only weaken our arguments.

I will will continue to call out CoC6's opinions that I do not agree, especially when he uses parts of my posts, out of context, to try and support his arguments.

As others have said calling out CoC6's opinions you agree with or disagree with is just feeding the monster. Even if he uses your posts, out of context.

And thanks for the edit of your original post, mine, however, will stand as they are.

You ask a fair question in your post # 26
A C6.4 is a new model that looks very much like the model it replaces. A C6.4 billed as a new generation car but does not have a retractable hardtop, no 8 speed Automatic transmission or DCT. No Hybrid model of any kind, No All wheel drive, 70's type removal roof, no turbo charging, or Mid engine design. I believe many of these features will be in the C8 10 years or so from now.
The difference between a C6 and a C6.4 will be an improved interior (Maybe. We have heard that before) and the CUE system. An improved NAV system.
So there is your answer sir. Now let's just see how many of these improvements we see in Janurary and we will know if we have a C6.4 or a C7.
