I will keep the 911 but I plan on ordering a C6 coupe. I love the car.

I can get over the "stereotypes" I hardly fit the description of what some of you feel is a typical Vette owner.

Anyway, I looked at it, drove it, and loved it. Also for the money, I can't find anything even comparable.

BTW, it will be yellow.

Should I put my flame retardant suit on?

Just playing. More power to you. There is little to nothing else out there with as good a value proposition.

Good for you. Who cares what the Joneses say.

More people will admire the car in public than will smear you here.

Go for it.

The C6 has received great reviews. And you're right, there's nothing close for the money. Congrats!

Congrats!! I also plan to get a C6 Z06 next year. I have many friends with Vettes and NONE of them fits the stereotype. I think that "image" problem is a carry over from the 70s and is no longer accurate ... but it is hard to break. I did not even know there was a stereotype until I started reading about it on other car forums.
