I have a 2012 C6 Convertible that I bought new exactly 366 days ago.  I now have over 21,000 smiles on it.  Bad battery on delivery.  Had to fight with dealer to replace, finally did, no more problems.  Car has been exceptional.  The GPS system did come with an older DVD, which wouldn't always route correctly.  Dealer replaced and no more problem, although it is a comparatively primitive system.  My 4 year old Garmin is much better, but I do like the heads up display of directions, or I would consider replacing with an aftermarket system.

Problem with gas mileage.

On my "11" GS I had a crack starting in the transparent roof.  The dealer replaced it under warranty.  The most expensive items have been replacing the front tires at less than 10,000 miles and the rears at 13,000.  I attribute it to a bad factory alignment. I wrongly thought that the darting and tramming was due to the large sticky tires. Had a 4-wheel alignment done after replacing the front tires, non-aggressive settings and again after replacing the rear tires.  The front tires now have 7,000 miles on them and they appear to be doing much better than the originals.  I will have another alignment done at the start of next driving season. 

I have the NXTSTEP exhaust on my of 05 base C6 and i love it, no drone, nice sound

I have a 2005 the auto dimming mirror isn't working. I also had to replace the steering lock mechanism almost$1000.

05 coupe problem shifting into drive on start up. does anybody know of and aftermarket company that sells a shifter or better yet a repair kit for solenoid? 

Having the shift lever lock up when starting is a very common problem with the C6 2005 and 2006 models.  I know people who have spent $800 having the shift unit replaced just to have the same problem.   However, that is not necessary because the problem is easily solved.

A number of people have removed the console cover and snipped the plastic hook from the solenoid that locks the lever into place.  It does not cause diagnostic readings and the problem is solved forever.

There is another way to overcome the problem without removing the console cover and I have done it for 7 years.  If the shift lock will not release upon starting the engine, shut off the engine and put the ignition in accessory mode.  Put your foot on the brake and you will hear the shift lock disengage.  Shift to Neutral and start the engine.  Then you can shift to any gear and proceed.        (If you shift into Park, it will re-engage.)

I bought my Z06 2007 that the previous owner had replaced the muffler system with a Corsa system.  Very nice sound without the blown away sound of the Borla quad stingers that I had on my 2002 Z06.  If you want a blast of sound, very loud sound, Borla.  If you want a great, deep throated sound that carries well without loudness of the Borla, go Corsa.

thanks I will try the accessory mode when it happens again but will give some serious thought to clipping the nob on solenoid   

I have a sweek coming from the front of the engine when its running. One friend said that it may be the vibration dampner going bad (separating)??? Any ideas and can I do a R&R myself? Thanks ya'll.
