You could always trade in the c5 for a c6 later. The c6 is the latest but not for long.
In my experience everyone(except for us smart people) wants the latest and that makes it more expensive.

I told you before keep it and take care of it. Buy a c5 instead of a c6 for now.

It's not as exciting as a gold '87, but here are some pictures of one of the cars that was built by Callaway to customer specs to be much like the Sledgehammer. It has front-mount intercoolers and that tall short-runner intake Callaway used (I believe all are called the "100+" intake):
Similar Supertrapp exhaust:
Incredible carbon-fiber work that unfortunately an owner drilled holes in to mount N2O "cooling" for the intercoolers:

The miniram existed in 1989? I always assumed it was a knockoff of the LT1's intake design that came later.
