Been there, done that. Rode in a friend's '08 Vert C6. It was fast, yes, but it had noticable cowl-shake and there were at least 2 different "creaks" I could hear, and this going over MUCH BETTER! pavement than we took the Z on last night. The C6 had 8,XXX miles, was a show-car/garage-queen (hence why I couldn't drive it, his insurance forbid it).

My friend's C5 felt a bit more solid if I recall.

The LS3 definitely has more juevos than the Z, but in every other department the C6 failed to impress me.

I am stuck. Do I want a fast car, or do I want a well-made car? Honestly? I want both--for under/equal 60K MSRP. I don't think it can happen.
