Happy for your new car..but.....
I walked out of my office the other day..and saw my car from across the parking lot...and I swear..the C5 styling just never gets old....the C6....just leaves me cold.

I can appreciate the technology in the C6..but the looks just dont give me a rise.

Im thinking that the C5 will go down ( styling ques) as one of thoes tha will just always turn heads..like the 67 vette porsche spyder

Congrats one the new car...

I'm with you man. I know the C6 Z06 is a better, more powerful, faster car but I think the C5 Z06 is a better looking car. It's one of the reason's I bought it, and I to think it will stand the test of time. Let's face it when your sitting at a stoplight all that power means nothing, but looking good does!

And to the original point/post, congrats on the new car. I'm sure your gonna love it!

I agree. And both are 08 models. The green one is brand new. A 6 speed manual. Very rare car.

I really like the C6 tail, but the C5 front end looks better.

Other than a stoplight comparison which i think is more subjective, my gripe with the C5 is the darn interior. the c6 interior is clearly better.
