Default I'm Back!

I'm back! It's been a while since I sold my 00 C5. Butttt I've found an awesome Silver C6 6 speed. What do you guys think of the C6 over the C5? I have not driven a C6 yet. Will be picking her up next Saturday.

I have to agree on the looks. I'm still a C5 guy at heart but I just can't find any at a reasonable price with less than 15K on them.

I'm sticking with the C5. My Vette has to be a Vert, and I like the larger trunk of the C5 in addition to the body style over the C6.

I drove a C6 for about 1500 miles about a year and a half ago and I was very impressed. You won't be disappointed in the performance and ride and IMO, the looks are just fine.

There is nothing wrong with a C6. I have thought about moving to a C6, There are a lot of C5 members here that say no way and haven't even driven one. I like the C6 alot, About the only think I don't like is the radio section, To me it looks really cheap, But the rest of the C6 makes up for that.
Good for you, I am sure you will enjoy it a lot.

The C6 is impressive,the C6 Z06 even more so,had the pleasure
of driving one for awhile last weekend.As much as I loved
it,it wasn't enough to make me give-up the C5.

Good luck with the C6,it's a great car
