Replying to: defrit2000 (Aug 19, 2006 7:12 am) I got the 3LT option which was not cheap but brought many options including the better seats. I cannot compare it to the base seats but the upgraded seats are excellent! The 3LT also includes the upgraded sound system and XM radio. I have had XM and thus was already spoiled. I highly recommend it. The C6 is very comfortable. I will use it on some short and long trips and have no reservations whatsoever in doing so. I have not owned an S2000 but almost ordered one. The reviews that I read however were very negative on the car for any long distances and as a daily driver. The trunk was small and amazing (to me) was the fact that car insurance was cheaper on the Vette. The car is awesome! I have gotten so many positive comments on the car in the short time that I have owned it. I strongly suggest that you test drive one. I think that you will be pleased. The exhaust note is good but not great unless you really get on it. I got the manual and cannot fathom anyone getting the automatic. However, half of the Corvettes sold are automatic transmission. If you are in heavy stop and go traffic then I guess that it should be considered but to me the 6 speed manual is half the fun of driving it. Just an amazing car!!! Hope that this may have helped in your decision.

Never had a Corvette, but always been dreaming of owning one. My favorite exterior color is Victory Red. However, I am undecided of whether to order it with a black interior or red interior. Can anybody make any recommendations on the pluses and minuses of each color? Really apprciate it.

| No doubt color choice is personal. Definitely agree with Saholz. You got to go with what looks good to you. However, do keep resell value in the back of your mind as you're buying. I understand that bright colors (inside or out) won't help you to resell the car. Personally, I think red interiors can look great in cars (I like the reddish-browns in BMW M3s and some of the reds in Porsches), but I'm not a fan of the Corvette red. Reminds me too much of my mom's 1988 Caprice. | |
Thanks everybody. Your inputs really helped a lot. I am really not thinking about resale, but your inputs (especially saholz's) on contrasting colors was great!

Replying to: bhill2 (Aug 22, 2006 11:37 am)  Thank you bhill and brainapel your thoughts are most appreciated and helpful. Many of the car mags have written uncomplimentary things about the manual trans (and the seats, too). Does this transmission shift well? Is it short throw? Is there a problem going from 2nd to 3rd? Remember I'm leaving one of the best ever sticks (S2000) Am I going to be that disappointed? As you so rightly point out, with the engine being so flexible I'll probably be shifting a lot less. Brian, my son says the antennae for the XM is "really ugly" do you think so? |
