Interesting Fact!
There are more C6 Corvettes (2005-2006) on the road than the ENTIRE production run of C5 Z06's (2001-2004).

I wish you said there were more C6 Z06's (06) on the road than the ENTIRE production run of C5 Z06's (01-04)...then maybe I'd have a shot at picking one up.
But interesting fact none the less...

Interesting fact - I see 50 C5s in Atlanta for every 1 C6 I see. Quit trying to sell us that POS...we don't give a crap.

+1. There's probably more C6s on the road than the entire production run of ZR1s also.

Here is a better fact. There are more people that can't afford a C5 or C6 Z06 than those that can.

Got to give GM a
they got the word out! I think they screwed every C6 - 05 owner with a 4 spd auto, Ya those car will have high resale value. remember "84 C4. with the 82 crossfire engine. In either case glad to hear it.
Point One: eventually my C5 will have a retained resale value-like I care! And Point Two: A C5 is still purpose built and not an XLR retro-fit with corvette body panels and drivetrain. Hence C5.5
