I think the C6 Corvette's are definitley impressive vehicles.
Although I would rather own a 2003-2004 Cobra or
2011 Subaru Impreza STI instead.
I have done some research before on the C6 Corvette's and
have found they are expensive on insurance,expensive to replace
parts,notorious for clutches failing,and overheating due to water
pumps failing.
What 1/4 mile times does the C6 Corvette and C6 Z06 put down?
Around 11 seconds?

I'm pretty sure my next ride is going to be a WRX or WRX STI. I love those things.

I'm getting to and maybe already there, to the point where I would rather a nice clean "peppy" car rather than a loud harsh riding one. I had o/r x pipe and magnapacks and added cats to shut the car up, I've contemplated going even quieter.
I will never add stock suspension back on my car, but I wouldn't mind softening it up a tad while keeping my stance.
I have never been in one or test drove on so I can't share the experiance. Only comfortable, nice riding fast car was one of my boss's 06 GTO he redid to a 6.6L with 200 shot and could run 10's, but didn't do it much due to not wanting to put a cage in it. Stock exhaust/suspension and that thing was a nice car. Hell his BACK seats were more comfy than my FRONT seats ahaha

Have you ever driven a cable clutch in heavy stop and go traffic for hours on end? How about when you're almost home from a 7 hour drive? It definitely can get heavy and frustrating for myself and I'm in great shape. I wish my car had a hydraulic clutch.

^sissy...work your legs more. I hate hydraulic clutches...I drove an 08 GT for a test drive and stalled it because it was too light. It would take some getting used to but I like my 04 because you can FEEL the car.
EDIT:I have driven a 16 hr drive in my car and right as I was getting close to where I was going I hit downtown 5pm Columbus traffic....I don't know how you drive but mine was all highway and I wasn't using my clutch that often lol

I drive back and forth to school a lot and I live in New York. So I ALWAYS without fail get caught in traffic right by the Holland Tunnel and then again on Canal St, then yet again on the Manhattan Bridge and yet again on Flatbush. It SUCKS when you're tired and just want to be home.
On the highways, I'll agree its no problem. I drove from Buffalo to Milwaukee last year and that was a piece of cake (although I don't know how some of you guys live in Ohio, thats the most boring state ever).
