Which would you choose??
If given the choice of A) one new C6 or B) keep your C5 and get a 2nd car like a new daily driver or classic car .... The asssumption is the loaded C6 is worth about the same as a C5 plus a 2nd car(around $55k)...I'd go with "B" since I need a DD for the snowy northeast winters..

C6 Z06 - I would definitely get the C6 -Z.
If C6 coupe or vert - I would keep my C5 and get a 2nd daily driver.

I'd keep the C5 then buy a cheap DD, and then with the money I have left over, I'd buy some more mods!

If you need a DD, then keep your C5 and get a DD. I understand what you're talking about when it comes to snow. C5's are great and I actually think they're more sexier than the C6. JMHO.

I plan to have some of my ashes scattered in my C5! I will never sell the Silverbullet00. But I do have other dd's. 4x4 pickup and Explorer. Plan to eventually own C2, C3, C4, C6, C7, C8..............

I live in FL and my C5 is paid off. However, the wife's new SUV isn't. Once I pay that off, it's off to C6 General for me. I don't need the daily driver--I have a car work pays for. The Vette is for fun.

I vote for 'B' just go for a cheaper winter car so you have more money for MODS!
