A guy I work with sold his Ferrari 348 Challenge edition and bought a new C6 and is very happy. His only complaint is having a difficult time finding a set of slicks.

Yes, you're right. 'Handle' wasn't the right word. 'Road feel' is more like it.

Big power, but I missed revving the engine--you never need to get over 2000 RPMs in the Vette really. Hell, the thing will idle up a hill in fourth gear!
Hate the cheap interior and all the squeaks and rattles he's got, and the clutch took a while to get used to (and I'm pretty sure that all clutches are hydraulically-assisted these days--the C6 just has a heavier pressure plate than the Boxster probably, and for good reason). The C6 also feels a lot bigger when you're driving it, even though it's really not a big car at all.
He has a big problem with the gear box though. If he tries to shift into third gear quickly, often times the car ends up in a half-engaged state. It's a common report among C6 owners apparently.
Not the car for me, but I love the way it looks and damn, that's a fast car!
Oh, and I'm not diggin' his headless-dwarf steering wheel

That is hilarious
The gear problem could be the CAGS (computer aided gear selection) which forces you to go into 4th gear from first unless you're hitting the gas hard, a way to increase EPA gas mileage so as to avoid the gas guzzler tax.
It is a 20 dollar fix called a cags eliminator if he is interested. I'm pretty sure every c6 owner except him has it
