Hi there,
here in germany many people ask me the different between my C5 and my XLR.
here it is:
My C5 vert with 6 speed is the real sports-machine, it`s an 02. I got the Corsa Exhaust System on, so its above 2000 rpm a kinda loud. But I love this music
The fuel economy on my vette is world-class, because there is no car out there with this power which undercuts the gas-mileage of the Vette.
I test drove last week a 05 C6 coupe and especially the interior got much better look than my C5 got. Now you can have heated seats, navigation what was not offered on the C5. The engine got a little more power but you can tell not much difference to my C5. (0-60 in 4.6 or 4.2) All in all the the C6 is the better car - I still keep my C5 and maybe.......maybe I buy a C6.
Now to my XLR - this car is, as the name says a "LUXURY ROADSTER", it got almost everything on board, as you all know. I was only in one thing a little disapointed because the CTS/SRX have the TV tuner in the Nav - not the XLR.
That`s funny, because it means in the "King of the Family" you can`t watch TV while waiting somewhere but you can do it in the CTS (all export models where I talk about). My XLR is not as fast as my Vette but it`s faster than the SL 500 and the top end on my HUD got me to 274 km, that`s 171 mph. My analog-speedo stops at 260 km and wan`t go further. But now the differences between the Vette is when you drive on the autobahn in the 100-170 mph range, the XLR is so comfy against my Vette, the wind noises are so low and it feels more as you would drive a sporty-big-luxury-sedan but with a lot better handling.
Bob, :lol you was right, it`s a XLR - eXport Luxury Roadster :cool
