Default i got to drive a C6.

I participated in GM's auto show in motion today and i got the oppurtunity to drive a C6 m6. the road course was really short,so i really did not get on it at all, but it was fun to get to drive the C6.i have seen the car in mags, but in person the car was awesome. I just wanted to share my experience from today. i will probably get one in a year or two. thanks.

The C6 looks very sexy in person

I saw one at Richmond Dragway yesterday at the Busch race.

Lucky lucky... Acouple of salesman here at my work got a chance to go to VIR and drive a C6. VIR is like a 4 miles course and has a long back straightaway. I'd give anything to go and drive one there.

I went to Freeway Chevrolet today and you probably can guess what I saw. I must say it was a lot better looking in person. Going for 50 grand. 5 thousand markup but I expected something like that. Only got one okay picture of it but it was on my cell phone plus it says its like 800 kb too large to put on here and I dont know how to make it smaller.

We sell lots of Vettes. Sold 50 of C6 coups already. The car with a 6 speed and the Z51 package is like a Z06 with real good manners. Very smooth, quiet, and sneeky fast. It will run dooor handle to door handle with a 04 Z06 but has a lot more polish and refinement. A vey nice car. I took one to Knoxville for the weekend to display at the 29th Annual Corvette Expo a couple of weeks ago. Put about 700 miles on it and I sure did enjoy the car. The car looks much better in person. None of the photos really do it justice. Chevy built another winner in my opinion.

I did the auto show in motion here a few weks back. You can sign up online or put yourself on their mailing list. autoshowinmotion.com I drove one at the dealer when I bought my truck, and also at the show. Also drove the ls2 SSR and GTO, all were awesome.
