Default Hello
I'm a newbie here. Just bought a 2007 Yellow LS2 with the 6M trans. It's a cool car. Tons better than my 2005 Yellow Viper I sold last year. That car was not easy to live with. I also have a 2008 Shelby GT Mustang, 2008 M3 and a 2009 ZX4 with the 335 engine. This is my third Vette but it's been a long time. My last one was a 2004 Crossfire and before that was a 2002 Crossfire. I'm into airplanes and bikes also. I live in So Cal. That's me.

Thanks Rick! I currently own 8 airplanes and you can imagine how happy my wife is with me. My babies are my two ex-military trainer jets. My wife says I need professional help. Oh well, the C6 is a great car. I bought it for my 19 year old son but he decided he wanted our X5 more. That was fine with me. The Vette is a great car and it doesn't chase you out with heat like the Viper did. I am having a little problem with it though. The rear roof latch pops open (scares the **** out of me) when the body flexes a little going in and out of a driveway. Is this a known problem?

No, don't recall seeing that discussed before. I suggest you head over to C6 General and ask. The "collective mind" of the Forum will let you know if your issue is unique. Might just need an adjustment. Good luck.
