I own both. I like both, however the C6 is a whole different car. Pulls harder and handles a little better. If you can, keep the C5 and find a nice low mileage C6.

I recently sold my C5 and bougt a C6. I really love the C5 and if I had garage space, I would have kept it. Unfortunately for me, I only have a one car garage, so the C5 went.

NOW, the C5 is such a wonderful car that the only way I was making that swap was when I was able to get a C6 Z06.....

The regular C6's did not do enough for me to make the trade up..

The C5 is a great car.

My 20yr old son even said he'll disown ME if I sell or trade it, he Loves MY C5 and wants me to leave it to him in my will
