Eight months, and at this time my post is true. I will post if my opinion changes in the future. I am not a fanatic about my cars but this one is a winner IMHO.

I am not a first-time Vette owner, BTW.

Didn't say it is perfect, but I find nothing wrong with it at this time.

How long does one have to be a member to say something positive?

I see plenty of nasty new-member posts.

Nothing wrong with a positive note. Hell, I've had things go bad on mine, but I still sing a positive note about it. Just today, it went into the shop for the "Service Active Handling" problem with the wires in the steering column. It's not fixed yet (have to "order a part," even though I told them EXACTLY why it was coming in - you'd think they could have the part there at my appointment), but I still love my car. DBS, flying roof, and all.

Default Skip Shift Feature...
The skip shift feature is GREAT - it saves $$$ on a gas guzzler tax (find another 400-505 hp car without a gg tax) and costs $0 to $20 and about 5 minutes to disable if you want. It would suck if GM made it difficult or impossible to disable, as is I think it is great.

Cheers - Jim

I meant a one word post. I'm glad the OP is happy with his car but let's get real...He has only been a member for less than a month. The C6 is a great car but not perfect. Just turn the stereo on to find that out No offense to the OP but this always was and still is a very critical forum and I would be afraid to post "None!!!!" as the only word in my first post. Heck, I posted in the Z06 forum by mistake once and got jumped all over.

There is undenialbley a honeymoon period you go through with your vette. Once that passes, that's when you sperate the men from the boys.
