I was approached by a C6 Corvette owner who also have a NSX this afternoon.
As I was leaving, sitting in the NSX, turned the key and started the engine, a red car pulled really close next to me and greets me in such excited tone. I turned my heand and looked at the car from inside of NSX in such short distance. At first I thought its a Viper SRT-10 in Copper from the previous incident at CC. Then I come to realize it is a red car. I looked outside of the window scan through front and back, and realized that it is a C6 Corvette.
The gentleman asked "did you bought the car from Texas recently?" I said "no, I bought it in Costa Mesa 3 years ago". He said he also own an NSX
. He didn't talk much about it though, other than that he paid $34k.
I am also a C6 fan so I step out too check out his C6 and told him he got a very fast car, 400bhp/400lb-ft of torque in stock trim. He replied, yes it is very fast, it will top out 180~190 mph, very much will handle anything on the street. Got incredible top end.....etc.....
He than asked "have I ran against Porsche 997s in my NSX". I replied yes. I didn't mentioned my runs against C6s at Irwindale speedway and Dynoxtreme. That would have been mean, I did gave him my prime nickname. I can tell he is more than super happy with the C6.
He then popped the hood and showed me the C6 6.0L LS2 motor. And allowed me to sat inside the C6, I was quite impressed. It looks like it got a door handle, but its actually not a door handle, you click and press, the door opens. To open the door from inside you press a button similar to the trunk button on NSX. The seats are very comfortable, sitting position also feels like a sports car. Head up display was cool, the digital display shows tire pressure, and all temperatures, no need for aftermarket gauges, cup holder that holds a super size drink, decent stereo. The material of interior is not bad for an American car. The car is an automatic, still rated at 400hp.
The C6 seems quite solid, with many little gadgets, powerful motor, would make a great daily driver or weekend car.
