Too much electronic nonsense, too quiet and smooth, a feeling of isolation comes to mind.
I've got a '90 ZR-1 and my wife has a '07 Z51 Convertible... I have to agree with you because I much prefer my C4. Because my car's a Z, there is no horsepower advantage and the C6's handling just isn't as much fun.

My dad said my Z had an old "big block" feel as opposed to the electronically-controlled speed of the C6. The Z will throw you back in your seat and the shifter's a lot smoother than the C6. I love the C4 cockpit. So if I had to choose between getting another ZR-1 and another C6 - I'd get the Z.

You guys should go back to the C6 forum or better yet buy a Corvette then do with it what you want. Just to come here to start trouble is not the place for you and you add nothing to the forum or the conversation.

i really like the c6 in looks and of course its a better car, newer etc...
but when you see a c4, you just think, thats nice! i would rather a c4, like the stance, shape etc.... also a c4 in Australia is $24999 and a 2006 6litre vette is $159000. absolutley rediculous.

My '93 Ruby 'Vert gets quite a bit of attention. Well detailed, unmolested C-4's are getting the recognition they deserve.
