C4 VS C5 VS C6
I know that everybody has an opinion and there is no right one but I thought I would share mine. I always thought the C5's appearance compared to the C4 was kinda lame and there fore have not gotten one yet. Performance is another matter.
But the C6, well if the car looks better in real life than pictures, the old '95 will have to go! :smash:

Re: C4 VS C5 VS C6 (loflite)
i mighta had a little c5 envy up until recently only because it was the new vette. didnt like the body better really, nor did the performance aspect sway me. but the yuppy inside me knew i didnt have the latest and greatest. after that phase past, i am now of the opinion that i own a corvette, better then what 99% of the worlds population even dream of, and whether its brand spanking new or 10 years old, its still a damn cool car.

Re: C4 VS C5 VS C6 (90 Corvette ZR-1)
This is getting as old as the ZR-1/Z06 debate. :lurk:
I'd take my 96 Collector Edition LT4 over any C5 any day. I like the C4 looks better and in stock form my LT4 performs better or equal to a C5 with the exception of the Z06. I've proven that time after time at the drags and autocross events. HP games is a funny thing sometimes. You can have the power, but if you can't drive to save your life. Then the power does no good.
The C6 still sort of looks like a C5. But still have not decided whether I like it.
