we had it for awhile..i was going to get the new Z06 but decided that i rather not pay $75k for a Chevy...lucky i didnt...i love the driveabilty of the vette (the old Z06 and this new C6) since all the power is there for me and it alot more fun to drive compared to my Supra...but the over all quality of both cars suck compared to my lexus, supra, and infinity. I would put it next to my nissan as in quality.

You own an Infiniti but can't spell Infiniti? I know this is a common mistake but when you walk out to one in the driveway everyday... well that's like a Camaro owner claiming he or she drives a Camero.

There is a recall on this now. Contact chevy customer assistance at 800-222-1020 to see if yours is included.

A local guy lost the top off his C5 while driving around. This individual is something of an idiot, so I have no idea if the car/Chevy/GM can be blamed.
