Replying to: derekw1 (Jun 22, 2006 8:12 am) I am not certain that I qualify here (not a C6 driver) but perhaps I fit in the ‘etc.’ category? I am quite seriously looking at a 2007. (It will be a 3LT.) The 6 speed automatic transmission with manual control really removes the only significant “deal breaker” for me on the C6. ( I could never quite warm up to the C5’s rear end styling or interior. ) With a year of production now on this new trans., and no significant negative feedback on any ‘Vette Forum that I monitor, I am now reasonably confident that this will make the Corvette a very enjoyable car to drive – as my daily (and only) driver. The 3LT package includes several items that I care about. In particular: The UV6 HUD – have had 1 on 2 cars, have 1 now, and really enjoy it! The KA1 Heated Seats – OK, I am a cold weather wimp. The N37 Steering column, power telescopic with manual tilt. And the US9 Uplevel Audio System - now w/Steering Wheel Controls. The AG2 Seat adjuster, front passenger 6-way power and AQ9 Seats, Sport front bucket are in included in the 2LT (and thus also in 3LT) and I cannot imagine the C6 without the Sport Seats, at least. But it is your money! Clearly, only you can decide what is worth spending your money on. For me, this is likely to be my only shot at buying and enjoying a Corvette, and it will be my only car \ Daily Driver. So my priorities may be somewhat different. And a dealer that does accept GMID is just over 10 miles from where my Mom lives, in NH. A trip I planned to make this Fall anyway . . Best of luck! - Ray C6 A6 (MX0) 3LT and CC3 – in the planning stages . . .

Replying to: derekw1 (Jun 23, 2006 7:48 am) My understanding is: MacMulkin - in Nashua. I have not contacted them yet, as my purchase is likely still 3+ months off . . . Enjoy! - Ray Also considering Museum Delivery . . |

Replying to: ultraman19 (Jun 22, 2006 3:24 pm) Just drove up to Georgia this weekend 330 mile trip. Passed the 500 mile mark about an hour out doing 75 and cruised in the 80-90 mph range (with the traffic of course) on I95. (ok hit 100+ a couple of times). The car was a joy to drive, the Nav worked just fine except for one turn close to the destination (a disclaimer item I'm sure) which the map displayed correctly but the voice prompt was a little off. 27mpg for the trip. Comfort?There's something to be said for driving 4hrs 15min without a stop. I'm 6ft2 and arrived quite refreshed. |

| The more time you spend in your C6 the more you will appreciate the 3LT. I choked on the price of the full option package when I got my 05 but the longer I have the car the more I appreciate the package. I could live without it but it makes are really nice car a little nicer. | |

Replying to: rayainsw (Jun 22, 2006 9:08 am) My understanding is that 2007 production has started. But - the captive eval. fleet feedback will be evaluated sometime soon & after that (presuming no quality issues) the 2007s will start shipping. - Ray Not a GM production expert, but . .

Replying to: rayainsw (Jun 28, 2006 4:07 am) I am ordering a 07 and have asked the dealer to confirm whether production has started or not. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm going with the museum delivery and hope to have a production date soon. I can't wait! Regards, Derek
