Yeh baby, you could feel the road then. Going 60 felt like a 160. I've built rat rods that you never put foot down...no floor board, all rusted away. It sure was fun back in the 60's. No insurance needed, the cops always wanted to race you. They like showing off their Dodge's with 440's under the hood. Different time and mentality.

and how... in so many ways, the people of the current day will never know life without cameras all over the public spaces, being able to smoke and drink, boarding a plane with a friendly hello instead of with half your wardrobe in hand and a courtesy x-ray scan....

I had several C1s and C2s. There were great looking cars, loads of fun. I remember changing a clutch in my driveway on my 63. Tooks us a couple of hours if I remember correctly. My brother did most of the work, I handed him the tools.

the wifey always liked corvettes, but i converted her to porsches. But she likes the power of the cars and i think she drives faster tahn me.

Back in the day, I had a '63 Split Window which I sold within 6 mos (Who knew..??).

I liked the car, but I didn't love the car.

But I really like the C6 and think it belongs in any discussions of the 'best' sports cars available. It is a very good value, especially a year or two old.

Cheers!
