First time Vette owner
My dream of over 20 years has come true. Since 1978 I've wanted a Vette and I finally got one. I'm glad to join the club. Over the past few years I've owned a bunch of Mustangs, including 2 Cobras (01,04), but this by far has been my greatest purchase. Although my 04 Cobra had 200 more hp (modded of course) than this C6, I still wouldn't trade back for anything. What a great car!!!

Man, these are great cars. Take it form me, I've driven the Italian speed demons for 25 years, fun, but a pain in the a%#@. Bought a 2007 z06 in May, and love it. No kidding, my wife said, if you get a 'vette, "It has to be a Z06."
