Still debating.
I've been toying with the idea of buying a 03 or 04 C-5 ZO6. But I'm finding that some of the prices are approaching the $30k mark. I just started thinking that 06 and 07 C-6's coupes have been selling for just a few thousand more at best. What does everyone think ZO6 or C-6?

I understand your pain, you know which way I went. I looked at the Z06 C5's, but the speed thing is not that big a deal for me (sorry Red) so the extra $5K wasn't something I was interested in. I also looked at some early C6's but even a Sales Manager at a Chevy dealership that is a close business associate of mine told me to stay away from 2005 & 2006 C6's (showed me 3 in his shop that day), they had some early production woes. When you get into the 2007 - 2009 C6's you're in the $40K range, didn't want to spend that much. For me, the best option was a 2004 C5 equipped exactly like I wanted it. I have no regrets, plus you gotta love that big butt
