I went to a lapping day on Aug 19th at Shannonville. A friend took me out for a few laps in his C6 convertible (1500 km on the clock!) and after a few laps, he said to me "it would probably be more fun for you if you were driving."

I thought about it for a second, and thought.. crap.. what happens if I wreck his new car? But then again, whens the next time this opportunity is going to come up? Lets roll!

All of the controls feel alot lighter than the fbody. Driving this thing is dead easy... with the stability control on, it feels like you would have to really overcook it to get it to go off the track.

He has a stock exhaust on it still, so coming from driving my own car and riding in other f-bodies with loud exhausts, it was kind of deceiving how it built up speed on the straights.

The HUD is a neat feature, but honestly, I guess im too used to looking down at the dash instruments so I didnt use it too often.

Overall, I think GM did a great job with this car - I like it. I cant wait to ride along in the C6 Z06 that other friend has on order (I don't think he is going to let me drive it)

thats a very good point, but the whole platform did change between the third and fourth gens. i feel that the C6 is very deserving of being called the sixth generation. they divided the generations more on exterior design that anything else. C2s and C3s are very similar except for the body and interiors. My biggest beef is with the LS2 being called a gen IV. thats is for marketing more than anything else.

the key lock for the hatch is above the liscense plate. its next to the light. its not easy to bend down there and see even.

and yes its a proxy sensor thats in the key fob. they had them starting with the late C4s. it can be annoying if you happen to park the car close enough to the house and you walk around with the keys in the house. it will cause the alarm to arm and unarm and the locks to lock and unlock when you get close then walk away again.
