I love the C3 but I'd also love to have a C6. I would agree with the statement that some people who own C6's own more than one. I personally know someone who has a C6 because he gets a new one every few years, but also owns a 54, fuelie 57, and an 66 that he bought in 67.

I have both C3 and C6 and love both. I've been less than impressed by the C6 ... until I had it at the track. WOW!! although I didn't like the abs getting in there. all other nannies were off but couldn't turn the abs off. The looks I think are reminiscent of many gens. The body profile = c5, front fenders = c3, rear window=c2. Really though, love all vettes
this thread and one about another forum makes me think that C3 guys are a much cooler group. In C6 all you get is floormats, Z-51 stickers, rims and the inevitable "going for 7,000,000 rwhp" thread even though it's never been raced. Here it seems more like sitting around the garage bs'ing with a brew and yes you get the inevitable know-it-all who can't stop giving bad advice. comes with the territory.

we all have had cars in past which we wish we still had and never sold.
i have a 81 4sp with new eng.[383] new eveything, this is a car i know i would regret selling, they just don,t make such a raw drive train,
manual linkage [hurst], non-hydrolic clutch [centerforce df], anymore. theres a feel to that i enjoy. that being said, I can,t find anything i don,t like about the c6,
i want one. but not at the expence of giving up the c3.
eventualy I'll have both.

C6?
If the headlights were still hidden, I'd have bought one!
Otherwise, I'll always keep the ones I have...
