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)

Isn't the genIV line of motors supposed to have displacemet on demand? I didn't notice it by the fuel milage mine got.

I can see the proximity sensor getting annoying, I think you can turn it off based on the options in the computer. You would have to use the remote to unlock the doors then.

Either way it's a great car do drive, just a few issues... don't people like us have a few issues with everything?
