I bought a 05 C6 coupe mn6 new. Black w/black interior

Front tires are 245/40-ZR18
Rear tires are 285/35-ZR19

It is truely a very fast car, the torque is unbelievable, and a great bang for the buck. I can get an easy 29 mpg on a long 80-85mph interstate cruise.

Yes, I get the "tramline" you talk about in less than perfect roads, and also it seems to have considerably more "bump steer" than a boxster. The track is similar as to cars of its size, but the wider tires do try to climb in/out of "trucker grooves" The runflats are so so. They have (compared to a good non-runflat) poor traction, poor cornering, and don't hook up the 400hp to road well...plus are super noisy on a concrete roadway. The only plus, no spare, drive with zero pressure in the tires.

I have to disagree with... "It can be kind of scary escpecially at high speed because the car literally trys to steer you into the ditch."...comment, never had that problem, yet. It's seen 165+

And I like the fixed Xenon High-Intensity Discharge lamps, nice design...more euro looking.

Both the Boxster and the Corvette have their ups and downs...both are a blast to drive.
