i value your help.

thanks guys
I like the feel of my C5, although I haven't driven a C6 I would love to have the newest Vette>>>ZR1"Blue Devil"...I think it has 638 HP and turns the 1/4 mile in 11.3 seconds.....If you can afford $105,000...I'd go for it...BTW, I just read about it in "Magazine Corvette"...WOW

Well, I like the look of a c5 a bit better. I personally like the smooth lines, not the hard ones. I am also a fan of the pop up lights. I still feel that from the side the 6 looks to short in the butt. That being said, the 6z is one bad ride. One can not deny that the 6 is better in the power department, and is supposed to have some interior upgrades. But, is it enough to justify the payment? I would think your z car would perform well against it.

On a side note, who actually buys a vette because of its great interior anyway??

Well, the C6 would most likely still have a warranty on it (assuming your's doesn't still have one).

About the only way to make a decision is to get out and test drive a C6 equipped the way you want it. Then you can tell whether you want to change cars.
