Default My new C6 and my C5 I struggled to give up.

Got my C6 this weekend, sure was bittersweet. My 2000 C5 is one great car. Lot of mods and lot of fun and memories. But electronic parts don't last forever and can't be found.

I was in the same situation you are in now 4 months ago. My 2000 was a great car but my new to me 09 is a Cadilac compared to it.

C5's are great but the C6 is really special.
Enjoy your new ride!

C5 looks sweet can see why it was tough to move on. But your new C6 looks awesome, enjoy it.

I did the same thing this summer. Traded a beautiful 04 c5 auto for an 08 6sp and as much as I loved my C5 I know I made the right decision now. Good luck with your beautiful coupe.

I felt your pain, but sure glad I moved up. I love the ride. My first corvette was a 04 Black on Black. Pretty car, I love my 08 jetstream Blue.
