Default How many C6ers are NOT first time Vette owners?

This is the other side of a thread that is out there.
This is my 3rd Vette, and I am blown away as to how much better this one is than my C5 and C4 were. I have to say this is probably the finest car GM has ever made (read that in another thread). How many here feel the same way.

No. 4 for me, although I only had no. 3 about 11 weeks. Got my first one, a 67 white vert (new), with optional hardtop at the age of 25.

Didn't have a C5, but from what I've read, it's better than the C5 in most, if not all respects. It's certainly better riding than my C4.

This is really hard for me to answer. I did own a '77 Vette with the 350 and automatic. I bought it used and ran it for a couple of years. The car was so bad...loose, slow, and uncomfortable...that I hardly considered it a Corvette. So, technically, yes I did own a Corvette. It just didn't feel that way to me at the time.

The C6 is number three.

White '92 was a great car.

Silver '98 was much better in every way except for two...
I felt it was too big compared to the C4 for the sports car feel, and the seats in the C4 were more comfortable.

LMB C6 is much better in every way including the two mentioned above.
