Interesting that the C6 Z06 looks longer than the C5 Z06 in those photos.

Hmmm..... love them both... C5 Z is such a sweet design, but the new one is so mean looking. Glad I can't afford the new one or I'd have a tough decision to make.

C6 Z06 would look better and meaner with the notchback. I hope GM is still considering in the near future. My $.02.

Took the words right out of my mouth. What's not to like? Two of the baddest vette's ever to roam the streets.

REALLY Nice pictures.
Used to take the trip to Hell every once in a while in the olden days.
Especially nice blasting the twisties on your crotch rocket with your sweetie clinging to your back.
It's how you find out if she's a keeper.

Very nice, but I still say C5. Something about that bubble back window. Its the same reason why I also have a 76 instead of the 78.

I love the new Z06!!! I wish they hadn't changed to the lighter shade of yellow though. Just 6 Lotto numbers away from my DSO Z06!

Nope. You can really tell the difference when one comes up from behind you, but maybe here's a better shot.



It's good to get the C5 Z06's and C6 Z06 on the road together, crazy fun!


The yellow one is DPG's, mine is the EB one, and the black C6 Z06 is RandyVettes.
