Default C6 sighting!

i got my view of a c6 (vert) yesterday..
daytona? blue, chrome wheels
yep, i agree with everyone that says it looks like a viper from
the front, it does! thought the tail lamps were huge in pics
almost look small....
fit and finish looked perfect but,,,it is a prototype....
someone had mentioned it was quiet, no i think silent is more
accurate discription!
i think it looks better on the road than in pictures..
i want one.....BAD

I was coming back from lunch two Fridays ago and this is what happend to me. My location is Dayton Ohio and there are several G.M. and Delphi plants in the area.

I was coming to a light next to the Duramax plant and seen a burgandy C4 about a 100 yards away and thought nothing more. I got closer and thought, hey looks like someone put L.E.D. lights in the back of their C4. Closer still, whats that grey insert on the bottom bumper? Heck thats a new C6. So I say to my passenger, see the C6 infornt of us? His reply, I wondered what that was. I think the car looks a little better in person, but I will likely stick with the C5. I was driving my S-10, but If I was in the FRC i would have reved on him to get some reaction.

So thats my C6 story.

I had one follow me up Livernois (just out of Detroit) on Tuesday night. I went from 8 Mile to 9 Mile checking it out in my mirrors. I don't think I looked forward for more than a couple of seconds at a time for the whole mile...

SWEET!!!
