I can only compare it to what I had before and it's faster than any of them. I personally don't need to add any more power to it.

The car is plenty fast for me.I went thru my mod phase 8 or 9 years ago and before.Spent 12 grand supercharging a 95 C4 early last decade.Loved it.Loved that car!!Nowadays,I'm over it.Maybe headers or something small like that. Hell,I can't use the 436 HP I have now!I've come to the conclusion to learn how to drive the car to it's full potential and therefore using all it's got!

I am 62 years old and in my life have owned quite a few muscle cars and some hot imports. As a younger man I was always modding. I have spent thousands of dollars putting stuff on already quick cars trying to realize some perceptible gains in 0-60 or qtr mile times. I always lost money on those cars when I sold them, voided warranties etc. Looking back I probably would be a lot better off now had I invested that money and just drove the cars. My 2011 GS is fast enough for me. My 2007 Roush Stage 3 BlackJack will take it in the qtr but the vette would leave it behind at the high end, more evenly matched on a road course. I am content to leave it as is and enjoy the reliability, relative economy for a 436hp car and have it all under warranty. To each his own and that is my .02

I wasn't over 55 when I bought my 2005 but I agree, the stock C6 is fast right out of the box. I kept my new C6 stock for about a year before I had a different, more powerful engine installed....I wanted a little more.

You get use to the speed and the car seems to get slower the longer you have it. Yes, I would like to have more speed.

However, my problem right now is that I am getting limited traction because of the cooler weather and the original tires that are starting to wear. I get a thrill ride every time I start to get a little aggressive with the car and more power is not going to help.

I am 68.

My neighbor came over and asked me if I could take his teenage son for a ride because he was really excited about my car. I told him sure come on over. So the next day I take his son out for a ride and get on it hard a couple of times and WOW! Not only was he impressed but so was I . I had been riding around casually and not really calling on it for a couple of weeks so when I really got on it even I was impressed. That thing took off like a rocket. If you don't use it to the full potential occasionally you forget how hard this thing will accelerate. Compared to most cars the Corvette is a real rocket ship right off the showroom floor.

Over 55 and no, my 06 vert is not slow. I also have a 79 six cylinder CBX and a Hayabusa so I know a little bit about slow...other people are slow.

WTH does this mean?"I've fine my share of going 0- court"

62 here and as far as I'm concerned, my stock '06 coupe is fast enough for me with my occasional freeway entrance acceleration exercises, rice-cooking procedures, and passing drills on two-lane roads.

The quickness of acceleration from 40 or so mph to 100+ is simply astounding. I'm still amazed by how the the Corvette is at once a certified race car and at the same time cruises city streets like a boulevard cruiser.

What a car. Best one I've ever had.

This is pretty much true, but having a lot of HP is kind of like having a 10 inch member, you sure don't need that much for normal use, but its sure nice to know the extra is there if you do.

It's all about context clues. I translated: "I'm fine with my share of going from zero (mph) to court."

Of course, I may be way off.

18 years ago (when I was 36, now 54) in 1996 I thought new my Trans Am, WS.6 was fast, 320 HP and looks to kill. Now a V6 base Camaro is just as fast and has 323 HP (and gets 30 MPG).

So, fast is a sliding scale that changes in time, and as each day passes, my C6 gets slower.

Someone will always have one that's faster. $$$$$$

I'm on the other side of 55 and have to agree with you.
