Ohh Yea

Ditto

:iagree: I have it in my 2005 and do like it but wouldn't bother a second time.

It does handle very well and I do like the lower gears in the MZ6 but the ride does leave a little to be desired....

C6 is a drivers car

:iagree: C3 would be a great car for a garage queen and show car, but, if you want to go out on the open road and travel it is C6 all the way.

You still MUST put it in reverse. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone who has always driven standards.

I agree

In our area "judged shows" have decreased. Non-judged shows or just cruise in's have increased.

There is a big difference between racing and judging. you get there first you win. In a judged...

2005 - z51

I just replaced the rears after 15K miles. Trashed one with a nail.

I now have Firestones on the rear and GY F1 supercar on the front. Handles fine on the road and better in the rain.

Beautiful, BUT, way to late in the season.

Frost this AM but now snow. One of your locals was visiting over the weekend and we were sitting in the back yard in the sun.

I had to comment here

I also have an 05 Z51 manual. It had to be towed/flatbed to the dealer 6 times in the first two years. It took 3 batteries and finally a re-flash to give me a car that was reasonably reliable.

Understand

I understand your frustrations. For over 2 years I had numerous problems and paid over $60K for my Z51 loaded vert. It even had to visit the paint shop before I took delivery because of delivery...

I only have about 15,600 when it went into storage in November.

DBS is not an option on a $60K car

I will NOT put a battery tender...

Unless the top is down. I have had dark interiors. Leave the top down on a sunny summers day and burn your butt when you get back in.

Why Not

Don't know about Benton, but, I travel in areas in New England where there is NO service available.

Nice Stan,

No snow here yet but I know it is coming. Never did get a chance to come up and visit our mutual friend this year. Maybe next summer.

I went with Canon for a lot of reasons.

Or Scratch and Dent

We have a small shop "Scratch and Dent" that fixed a deep scratch on my LMB 2005. Did a very nice job and much much cheaper than a body shop.
