I am not a huge fan of the head lights on the C6....I will be staying with the C5!!! and about the C6 Z06....a little bit of nitrous is all I need to out run them
plus....you try launching the new Z on some drag radials and you will snap the half shafts! The C5 shafts are stronger

Fantastic picture. One of my co-workers has an image of your car as his desktop wallpaper, and he's not even into Corvettes!
It is my opinion that the C6 is not different enough from the C5 to justify spending more money on one. Sure, there are certain creature comforts that are an improvement, but as whole, the C5 serves my purpose just as well and more cheaply.
Plus, I couldn't get over the profile of the FRC.

The C5 is certainly sexy, but I wouldn't turn down a C6 if I had the cash.

To be honest with you....If the dealership makes you an offer on your C5 as a trade-in like they made me, you'll either keep it or sell it outright......

[QUOTE=Junkman2008;1565128550]I don't know the first thing about gambling, especially on horses. I sneaked up to the front gate and snapped off those pics before security could come out and run me off that no parking area!
I don't blame you for not betting on horses. I lost $200 the last time I went to Churchill Downs Needless to say, that was the first and last time I ever bet on anything. Great job getting that pic though
