Congrats! I've loved mine. Totally different animal than my Camaro, and I'm sure the same can be said about your Mach 1.

100% agree. I was amazed at the handling difference between the Z28 and the Z06. And so was my friend after I gave him a ride he shortly after sold his twin turbo mustang and UPgraded to a c5z. I'm sure the c6's are even better. Post some pics, and congratulations on the purchase.

i love it.. but it does stuff i just can't figure out.... if you don't park it in reverse nothing turns off and sometimes the radio don't turn off. it acts crazy or i just need more time to figure everything out. i have now tried to start it with the key like 10 times. i have tried to turn the radio down with the ac **** about 20 times. sometimes the remote dont seem to be working or i didn't do something right. but they may just need new batteries. but yeah its different from my mach-1...i like my mach-1 but it was getting old and the the vette is the only good looking sports car left.

Well judging from your post it an 05 6spd. It is odd that the car has to be in reverse to kill the accy mode. You would do yourself a huge favor if you sat down and read the owners manual. The car has a lot of cool features but you have to do some reading.

yeah i started reading it today. i got it set to open my garage that was cool. but in the book it says it must be parked in reverse or it will not be secure and the battery will drain. also when you turn it off it says it on the dash. yes it a 05 6spd.

me and my daughter took it running around today with the roof off and my head got fried lol
