Hi I been owning this c6 for about a year I bought it since I needed a new daily since I been messing around with my 3rd gen camaro/firebird I’ve always liked older cars and was going to purchase a c4 instead but I saw the c6 going for a good price and said why not and good thing I bought it it’s been amazing I’ve taken it to many cross country trips and drag racing events and not once did it felt like it was going to break on me but sadly some guy hit me and now I’m looking for some parts his insurance is not covering everything so I’m going to be looking around

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the repair to your car. Might be worth arguing with his insurance company if the needed repair parts are a direct result of their client hitting you.
