Being a vette owner can certainly try your patience, though. Import guys of every kind NEVER leave you alone, Mustangs & F-body people tend to get all upset & revvy, german sedan folks look down their nose at you, and anyone in a beater looks at you like you're the scum of the earth.

i think they just delivered the first set of C6's yesterday.. It was 70 of them. Not sure what dealerships they are going to, but they are now OFFICIALLY on the market. Kinda sucks cause now I see my C5 as an old car.
oh well bring um on.

I don't know about pulling 11's in the first C6, but a mid 12 second car stock not being the Z06 is great to see. Looks like Chevy is looking to take some of the fire from the GT and the Viper. And as for Italy, well if after buying their 600,000 dollar car they can afford to go to the strip or the track looks like they will have their work cut out for them. Nice death by the way!

By the way, nice death bro, i've yet to see a C6 here.

My comment was that even a well driven SRT is not going to hang with a C6 vette, assuming the vette is driven competently.

Kinda of like how you beat a e55 from a 65 roll dropping into 5th.

Good run though man,

Oh well. I'll keep trying to dispel the stereotypes...................
I linked up some pix of a yellow C6 'vert the other day, but according to my logs only two or three people even took a peek! :shrug:
I really want a blue C6 'vert. That would be the only one I could give up my C5 for. Until the Z0h-My comes out, at least.
