Z51 C6 arrival, pics of car at Sebring
Just got our 06 Z51 C6 and had it out at Sebring for a few fun sessions around the 12 hr coarse. My wife did most of the driving as I did not want to push it too hard as it was completly stock down to the brake fluid and spankin' new. This will be our daly driver along with my C5 and truck but will be able to prep my C5 FRC a little more for track use. The C5 will be my track car for the most part.
This car is very much fun on the track and on the street. I think they did a great job and It handles itself very well instock form (could impove with different alignment and sticky tires). There are various pics of the new C6, my C5 FRC at Sebring, the wife as flag girl in front of the C6R at Sebring 12 hr and the traded in 99 miata in which we swapped for the new C6. Enjoy.
Wish I would have gotten this car sooner, we love it!

That's gotta be like going from a 80HP Sopwith Camel to a F-15.
Looks like a great time was had by all & the weather cooperated, fully.
Your bride fits right in behind the wheel of the new C6, too.
In spite of my best effort to get her to drive it, my wife's too afraid to get close to my C6.

so the C6 doesn't scare her other than that it is brand new and we din't want to put it in a wall!

Thnanks again. I just ran a few errands in the C5 FRC and I can't get over how much easier the clutch is in the the C6! No biggie, it just feels alot different. Love both cars.

Great pictures from Sebring. I also did the parade laps on Thursday of raceweek. Looks like you were in the third row. If you got the IMSA pictures I am in the center row, 5th car from front not including the pace car.
I see you are making good use of the new C6. Enjoy it.
