Don't hate me but........
 
The C6 bug really got to me and I bought this 07 6 speed Z-51. It is amazing what 34 years of engineering has done to these wonderful cars. (A FEW more creature comforts than my 73) The C6 is a GREAT car and I for one am glad Chevrolet keeps uping the ante!!

Hate you??? That thing looks awesome!!!! Isnt that Corvette Dr in the background? Did you get to drive it off the line?

Gordonm 06-04-2007 09:28 PM

Congrats on a beautiful car. I wish I had the means to get one myself. :thumbs:

KALAWAY 06-04-2007 09:30 PM

We don't hate you because you got a C6. We hate you because we want one too.

No, this was taken during CI 8, bought the car the weekend before.

Beautiful car! I have the same bug, it just hasn't bit hard enough yet. The only thing holding me back is that I will not part with my '72, so the wife and kids will need to understand that 2 vettes are really required!!

Good luck,
Dino

I think these are the best looking Corvettes since the '68-72's. Man.
Congratulations.

Congradulations! I was bit by the same bug but the wife really wanted a motor home instead. :crazy: Guess were goin camping!

Jeffery73 06-04-2007 10:16 PM

I've got it too but with a wife and 3 kids, I'm gonna have to be happy with the '73 for a while.

Congrats. :cheers:

Rickman 06-04-2007 11:38 PM

Brent,

Congrats on the Z51 C6. Beautiful! Are you telling us there is a difference between driving the 73 and the 07? Lol. See you at Carlisle.

Congrats, I may sell all of my beaters and get one, and use the C6 as my daily driver. I think the C6 can hold up to Cleveland's winters.

chevy69 06-05-2007 12:09 AM

Very nice - Congratulations :thumbs:

ghoastrider1 06-05-2007 12:14 AM

nice car

69camfrk 06-05-2007 01:51 AM

Didn't you buy a Chevelle not long ago too? Your C6 is very nice. I want one!!!:thumbs:

79L48 06-05-2007 08:48 AM

I think the C6 is a good look at the logical progression of technology. I admire C5s and C6s a lot! Nice car!

early shark 06-05-2007 09:58 AM

2th Farmer,

I don't hate you. I ordered and bought a '02 C5 new,(by the way it's black also) and it is used as a daily driver, but I still kept my first loves...both '71's. The new updated technology is nice, but unless you drive them constantly, you'll find that the battery drains dead!

blueray72 06-05-2007 10:25 AM

Damn that's a nice car, I really want one too.

I tried to tell the wife "isn't this a cool car? (C5). And you can drive it to work!!! I'll just maintain it for you, and test the tires and stuff".................didn't work:lol:

JungleCat 06-05-2007 10:29 AM

Congrats, man. That's nice. :cheers:

Bangkok Dean 06-05-2007 10:38 AM

well it's not an 80-82 C3 but nearly as nice looking.:thumbs:

C3 4ME 06-05-2007 11:58 AM

I also concur with Jughead's comment. BTW, yes I am officially jealous. I'd have a new one to go with the old one in a hearbeat if I could.

fiberglassjunkie 06-05-2007 12:34 PM

Nice.

I have a triple black '05 that compliments the C2 & C3. Might I suggest some LG long tubes and a Calloway Honker. Oh yeah, and you'll need the rear view sticker that says "objects in the mirror are a lot slower than the car you're driving"......

Bullshark 06-05-2007 01:33 PM

Brent, Don't feel bad, After I took the GM plant tour when we were down in BG for CI VIII, I was pulling out my checkbook to get one of those Z06's I saw on the line. That is, till my wife said I would have to sell one of the C3's before I could get it. I told her if money was the issue, it would have to be more than one of them:crazy: :yesnod: They train those tour guides to be pretty good salesmen:rofl:

Bee Jay 06-05-2007 02:02 PM

Yes, I hate you. You make me sick.

Nice car.:thumbs:

MixxMaster 06-05-2007 02:27 PM

Hey, nice Clown Shoe!:rofl:

70454 06-05-2007 07:02 PM

Hate me too! These things are great :thumbs:

2TONE82 06-05-2007 07:38 PM

Very nice addition to the stable. Congrats.

The jump in tech is amazing from my 'old' 2004 Z compared to my '82 but I love to cruise in the '82; she's my favorite for putt'en around.

I'm curious though, why'd you pull the trigger on an '07 when the '08s have the 30 HP bump? Our local stealership has 6 ~ 8 2007's on the lot...suspect they will collect dust until some special pricing/finance comes along.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Brent, I'd take one over the C4s & C5s anyday, but to me, they are too Viperish looking. Just my taste. On the bright side, it'll help keep the mileage down on your older ones.:cheers:

Eddie 70 06-05-2007 10:15 PM

Got to see it up close in BG. I love the color combo that he got. The interior is awesome. It is a very nice ride Brent. I just wish I could put one in my driveway.

Midwest Muscle 06-05-2007 10:44 PM

Too Viperish looking ... Maybe that lame looking SRT-10, but not the real Viper. This is the GTS I owned - Nobody ever mistook it for Vette >>
http://mohotcars.com/gts_out13.jpg

I still own an '82 CE (but don't drive it much with 454 miles on the odometer). I've owned C4 and C5 cars, and a C6. They do just keep getting better and better ... But there's just something about the C3. I guess I'm a sucker for nostalgia!

spedaleden 06-05-2007 10:57 PM

Very nice. Now drive it to Memphis and finish the power tour with it.

You are my idle :cool:
