C6 first impressions!

[911Gary]

Hi to everyone one,well I've just bought my first vette after many TVRS and 911s I thought Id dip my toe in and have bought the cherry red C6 that's been advertised for a while,my first impressions are its so huge!
Going to run it down to Le Mans looking forward to it just a bit!
I'm quite surprised how few are about and indeed for sale,quite impressed with the fit and finish but I guess my expectations were not that high so am pleasantly surprised so far so good.

Came from a TVR Griffith, and never looked back, the C6 is so much better in every way

Nice purchase, glad you're happy with it.

On the note of dimensions you'd be suprised how "small" the C6 actually is, they're only 56mm longer than a 911 and 8mm wider.
They're very deceptive, when I brought mine home I knew it was narrower than my old C5 but I was sure it wasn't going to fit in the garage, well it went in with ease.

Also the local tyre guy said "that's not going to fit on my ramp" and then was amazed that it was narrower that a BMW 3 series.

It's the opposite of a TARDIS..
