Despite being a C5 owner, I can honestly say that I that while I realize the C6 is a better car, in my opinion the C5 is much better looking.

While the C6 has some better features than the C5 I agree the C5 is more Vette looking.

I think the C6 is a great looking car until it is sitting beside a C5. On most angles, the C5 beats the C6 IMO.

C5. just like a woman with a nice a$$ you can't help but stare at it, but I will say the new Z06 looks mean from the front.

yea...this is the way it stacks up to me....

C6: first new car, better interior, big fan of trans and eng oil cooler, better build quality

C5 Z06: lower cost = more money for mods, better looking, Electron Blue = best looking color ever sprayed on a corvette, already owned 2 so I know how to take em apart, more american muscle car - less Euro trash touring car, C5 will always look modern, C6 will look old as soon as the C7 comes out


probably my only complaint about the C5....I wish the tail lights were round like the C6s instead of oval
