The C6 is a good dependable car, but so is most modern cars.
I dont really see in what area the C6 is much better than the Pantera
when it comes to suspension geometry function. There is one area 
of concerne and that is shock-coilover function. The Pantera is 
having a few drawbacks in the geometry, but nothing that really hurts 
cornering capacity that bad, it is more of drivers competence yo deal 
with those drawbacks. 

I just read an article "explaining the c6".

No criticism against what the say, it is just that there is No explanaition
of what it is that on a geometric basis should be better than that of a 
Pantera, or what makes it so excelent. Carefully selected wheel 
combinations and a top of the line coilover setups and the Pantera will 
be as fast as a C6.
Add a modren engine and it will be depanable as well. 

I also read different opinions about the BMW M1, Coutach and Pantera.
Well, those cars have identical geometries......
