Default Just Test Drove Paddle Shifter

Just got home from driving a c6,at kerbeck.Had to see a white one in person.I loved it.Only one thing,it had the paddle shifter,and according to the salesmen{Dave Brown}the chances of me finding a white one with what i want are slim.I have my heart set on a 6 speed z51 car.So we took the car for a spin to see if id like the paddle shifter.It was pretty cool,alot more fun IMHO than an auto,but i just cant see me putting down that much bread and not getting what i really want.I have an 04 coupe but ive had the c6 bug for awhile,{it grows more every day}I know i want a white car but gm dont make to many,its now going to make me either change to a blue or get a white one without the z51 But the test drive was A BLAST.I loved the feel of the inside and i could feel the added horsepower.Got to make up my mind as to what to do...................................... ........

Get the A6. I've had mine for just at 1 month. The M6 can't catch it.

Or you could order one. I ordered my 06 C6, White MN6 Z51 in August. Picked it up in September. Ordered it just how I wanted it. Of course I could not drive it home the day I ordered which made the next five or so weeks tough. But it was worth it.

The A6 is a blast to drive, especially when covered in white...

Get the white exterior, that color looks awesome on the C6 (better than C5).

Don't settle........... get what you want ! (even if you have to order it)

I have had my share of 6 speeds and I thought I would take a chance with the A6. Absolutely love it. Glad I ordered it.

If you order from Kerbeck, you can get exactly what you want in 6 weeks.

Heres the thing with ordering.right now kerbeck cant get the car for sure the way i want it.with the restraints on the z51 and the polished wheel company went belly up,kind of hard to belive but true.I would have to sign to say id take the car no matter what.And id have to put 10% down sucks............

Talk about bad timing - there was a White w/Red interior coupe, MN6, Z51 and polished wheels on the ground here in Baltimore two weeks ago at Fox Chevrolet [410-265-7777].

This is a White with Ebony Interior, Z51, MN6, LS2, Dual Roof, Polished Wheel car in New Jersey! I bet Dave at Kerbeck could trade them for this car and you would have what you want.
I guess my earlier post and PM to you must have been set on invisible mode

I agree get what you want.I ordered and waited 2 months for my white vert with a6 and worth everyday of waiting. I thought I saw on a thread a couple of days ago that the wheel manufacturer was going to continue for a few months until Chevy secured another vendor. I may have been dreaming though.

I agree, you're going to own the car a lot longer than you're going to wait for it.

Better to wait than kick yourself later for not waiting.

order what you want, now. you should be able to take delivery right around the time spring is getting started. it will give you plenty of time to get your mod plan and mod funding in order also!

That may be stretching things a bit.

When it comes to something like a Corvette, don't settle get exactly what you want or you'll regret it.

I was shopping for FRC's back in '03 but I HAD to have millenium yellow. Thus I turned my focus on Z06's and ended up with the car i have now =)
