Wait a minute...
There were 248,715 C5s made and so far over 165,000 C6s made and you have never seen one up close?
I can't even count how many I see in a given day. Where do you live? Are you overseas or something?

I would love to add many of the new tech that the C5 and C6 has into my C4. Or get a C6 with the body mod of a C4. I can see it now I got a C6 ZR1 with a C4 body. Ok Im done killing off your brain cells.

My uncle has a black 07 with some serious mods, around 500hp. We drove it from southern Cali to Omaha Ne last summer and it got right at 30mpg all the way there pretty much.
Plus it was a very very comfy ride. I felt like a million bucks after a 24 hour strait through trip. I used to make the drive in my 2000 z71 chevy truck and it rode pretty well too, but was no match in comfort to His C6. I would love to have the cockpit of a c4 in a c6.
Bottom line. I would love to have a C4 and a C6

The local dealer here in CT had a black Grand Sport on the lot, fully loaded with navigation. The sticker was $68k. Helluva deal for someone with spare ka-ching. When the kids are all outa college, I'll end up unloading these vettes and watch my new vette get 'born' in Bowling Green.

Vette Gen's
I live in CA where there are more registered car's than any state. I don't see C4's on the road too much. By far I see C5's more than any generation.
C6's are really nice. They seem a little too short looking though. The C3, C4 and C5 seem to have more of a common thread in body design. The C6 isn't far off or anything, but they seem a little too curvy and bubbly. The 2010 GS wheels are HORRIBLE and cheap looking. Wagon wheels are better looking.
I'll take a 2001-2004 ZO6 for the money right now. They usually have far less miles than a regular vert or coupe and are better taken care of. Out here you can get them for $22k-$24K with 30,000 miles all day. Seems crazy cheap. I want one, but the '88 will work for now. Shucks

2020 C3 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
2019 C3 of Year Finalist (stock)
I drove both C5s and C6s before deciding on the 2004. I was advised by a couple of Chevy dealerships to avoid the early C6 cars, mostly 2005 and 2006. When you start looking at 2007 and up you're well into the mid to upper 30's at best. Both cars actually feel very similar when driven so I went with the C5.
I'm sure I'll get a C6 in a few years, but good for now
