Default C4 Vs C6

Just saw the C6 for the 1st time at the Ft Lauderdale car show. Nice but my C4 is better looking. The front of the C6 reminds me of a Mini C3 nose :) Cute but I'll keep the real thing which is my 68 Vette.
I'm sure the C6 is an awesome car & I wouldnt mind having 1 in my garage but I wouldnt trade my 68 or my 93 to have 1 :cheers:

Why trade one in? I've got the C6 fund set aside already, 2006. I've got an '86 and a '96. I'll just add the '06 to the collection. :lol:

I wouldn't trade either, just add on to the collection.

I like the C6, but there is no comparison to the C4, the C4 is much better looking.

The C4 has a purity of line that cannot be matched by many other cars.

Body kits look stupid on them... the original shape is the best.

I do like the C6. MUCH nicer than the C5... better proportions and cleaner lines. I like it. A lot! And I will own one... just donno when!

I can say i was more excited about the C6 than I ever was about the C5. But I can honestly say (and not cause i own one) that the C4 is one of the best looking generations.

Hi Mjolitor, you might not remember me, but I was on the old Fchat when I was looking to buy a 308 (just lurking now). Well I decided that I wasn't ready for Fcar ownership (maintenance costs). I will have to agree with the others above in that you should always add to the stable/harem and not reduce it :D I know I will add a C6 Z06 to go with my C4 when it becomes avail. Have you decided which convert you will be adding to the stable/harem? I think that you should forget about the convert and go for the F40. A lady in red with two big turbos is calling out for you. :D

S Pham :cheers:

________________________________________ ________________________
I have to agree... however... imho a C-4 is a very plain looking car... wheels do cosmetic wonders for them... the color also has much to do with its cosmetic appeal... Iam on my 5th C-4 and will probably never own a C-5 or C-6... so... don't take it as a slam on the C-4 from me... I love em !
________________________________________ ________________________
Body kits look stupid on them... the original shape is the best.

I have to disagree... a Callaway Aerobody is a beautiful design... I realize that is a complete body kit, not an add on like a Greenwood kit... Recently their was a blue 84 on the cover of Corvette Fever... It looked pretty good imho... I don't remember what body kit it was...
________________________________________ ________________________
The Pro Toledo hood mimicks the cowl induction look on a C-4... it will be my 1st major body mod when I can afford it... You can't tell me it doesn't enhance the look of the car...

The Shinoda rear C-4 mod looks very nice, have you ever seen it ?

I do like the C6. MUCH nicer than the C5... better proportions and cleaner lines. I like it. A lot! And I will own one... just donno when!
I can't complain about the C-6... it looks fresh... and the back end is an improvement over the C-5...
Congrats on your decision...

I like the C6, but it doesn't make any of our C4's obsolete. They get better all the time and they should, but a huge note for something that takes a big it forget about it. Up here when winter is 4 plus months buying new on a boat or a car that is going to sit just not worth it to me. Wait a few years and if you want one pick up one then for half or better the original price.

I'm a C4 guy; for a number of reasons, most bang for the buck and they just look awesome. And now I've had just about everything apart and I know most everything about my C4. I don't want to learn another car, too expensive and time consumming.

I saw the C-6 at the Atlanta show. I think I am going to sell my C-4 and, skip the C-5, and go straight to the C-6.

I'm not going to lie about it. I would much rather have a C6 than my C4. Sorry those things are going to be serious. :yesnod:

Just dont tell my car... It might get mad and break on me :leaving:
