Hello from Boston
Hi all. I am a "possible" future vette owner and this site looks like a great place to find some information about these cars. Since I am in Boston, I won`t be seriously looking till next March,after I dig myself out of the snow. Right now a 01 to 04 C5 is what I am intrested in but the more I see the C6 the more I like them too! One problem I might have is I am 6`3" so I might not be very comforable in the drivers seat. Are there any other tall vette owners out there?

Welcome to the Forum!!!!! 
I'm 6-3 and do fine in my C6 vert. Only problem is I sit tall so I look through the top 25% of the windshield. Not the ideal situation, especially on uphill, right hand corners/turns where the rearview mirror and OnStar module block vision. Kind of tough to drive in a spirited manner when you have to lean forward and look up under the mirror to see where you're going in a right hand corner. But it doesn't come up too often, just live with it. 
Find a couple C5's and C6's to test drive and see how you feel. Good luck, enjoy the Forums.
