Depends on things like color, options, etc. . I would probably go with the Z06 though. Food for thought, the C6 will be around for some time now. You can always pick one up later. The Z06 on the other hand in a C5 is no longer made. Grab it while you can. You can walk into a dealer and get a C6 for the next few years at least. I actually went to the dealer to buy a C6, then found out they discontinued Spiral 
. For that reason, I bought the C5. Had to search about 20 dealers and 4 states though. It was the last chance to buy a C5 new! Thats why I did it. I love the car, and can always get a C6 next year. Although I finally read the whole thread and see you had a Z already.

are they that similar in price to make this an easy choice poll?
i would think the C6 would be considerably higher in price making the choice relatively simple for most people- not sure of your financial decision, so that makes it NOT a simple poll

ha ha....just went and test drove both back to back.....I dont even come close to fitting in the C6 (see sig pic). Leg room is fine front to back, but side to side Id have to be even skinnier than I already am. Plus theres no chance in hell of me fitting in a C6 with me helmet on for track events. And if you cant run it at the track, whats the point of owning it?? Decison made. 2003 Electron Blue Z06....done and done
