I love my C5...but when I see a C6 coming at me from down the road I always have to wait to see if it's a Ferrari...

I love my C5. But after watching this:

I'm liking the C6 Z06 a whole bunch. I'm glad I only had a V8 Vega when I was 17 and not one of those, I'd probably be looking down, OK maybe up, on the forum.

I Love my C5... Having come from a C4 I thought at one time that I would never warm up to a C5, now I am driving one. Not in love with the C6 but it's growing on me..

Hey guys.. It is a Corvette!

I don't like the C6's. With their uncovered headlights, they remind me of an old Toyota Supra from the front.

Never forget that the C6 is all Corvette and while I will never get rid of my C5, it is a great car for lots of different reasons. We spend too much time here disrespecting the car and the people that drive it. It is a worthy continuation of the heritage that started on June 30, 1953.

I love my C-5. I think the style is perfect. But I'm liking the C-6.
It has its own beauty about it.

I really like my C5, but I sure wouldn't turn down a C6.

I like the C6Z a lot. I think its smokin', and with that many cubes under the hood its easily mod'able. The C6 is a nice car, but I don't like it as much as my 04 Z06.

You will have to shoot me to take my modified 04 Z06 though I'm not letting go of this 525HP beast.... I finally got it the way I wanted it.

All Corvettes are awesome cars ! No matter what year !

I will never dislike a Corvette (ok, maybe a few "custom" jobs that have been exploited on EBay from time to time) - That said, I loved my C4, and I love my C5. Some day, I'm sure I'll love my C6
