Well since Zippy has disappeared from the face of the earth, I'll give you my first impression. First I like the new run flats there is alot less road noise, there alot like my Toyo Proxes tires. The hud is whole lot more visable in strong sunlight and the lateral G force meter is cool. However a splitting headache stopped me from going beyond .76 for now. Polarized sunglasses the radio, hud, nav and climate controls do not mix. There is a world of difference between the C5 and C6 shifter feel. The short throws are nice the double clunking as you go into each gear is gone and no more popping out of first because you didn't push hard enough to get it into first. The Z51 feels very tight but not jarring. I'm still breaking mine in so I have not stomped on it yet, maybe next week. The seats are firm they hold you better and are very comfortable. The leather seems to be a much better quality. I've only had the car 2 days so I've got alot to figure out. The nav is very cool and accurate. It appears to be pretty easy to use once you've learned all the features. Radio controls are nicely done very easy to figure out. The exhaust note is quiet at cruising speed but has a nice sound as it revs up. I think I'm going to really like this car can't wait to head out for the west coast in it next month.
