Do you enjoy driving your vette at night?

How many like to "night drive" your vette? And do you find that it is quicker also, due to the lower temp. It seems to have more gloss and shine under the bright lights too!

If the weather is nice, I take it out every night for a good 1 - 1 1/2 hour drive. It is my favorate time to drive it, without question. It was cool and very crisp last night, and Jeez, it was like a different car.

Love to drive it at night with the top off! During the summer here, it is the best time to drive that way.

I enjoy driving my C6 any time; day or night it does not matter.

I have the same problem here in Ga. But I do love the cool evenings in the fall and spring.

I don't see as well at night, so I would much rather drive in daylight.
Also, too easy to over-drive the headlights!

I love driving in the late evening, just as it starts to cool off, but the numerous deer waiting to jump in front of me sort of spooks me and keeps me tense while driving or riding in the Vette at twilight.

Who mentioned anything about C5 headlights? The C5 pop-up halogens are indeed very poor headlamps however the HID projectors in the C6 light up the road VERY nicely. I had to double check I was in the C6 section lol.
