What would you do?

Is yours modded where you like it? If you are not going to mod at all, I would say go ahead and move to the C6. If you are looking for something faster mod your Z to your needs.

Hey fellow South Carolinian! I live in simpsonville! Not sure on what your should do, cause the C6 and C5 are both awesome and it would be a hard decision to make. Well maybe see you around sometime and good luck on your decision!

I can tell you that the newer cars have fewer issues and the interiors are much nicer. The C6 is definitely an improvement over the C5. A single test ride will prove it.

Well.. If your really thinking about it, your probably ready to move up. If you can afford it, why not. C6's are GREAT cars. If you can go to a new one you will get 430-436 HP depending on the NPP option and the auto with the paddle shift is cool.
If I was where I wanted/need to be financially, I would be all over a C6 vert. Personally, I like the differences between my 2000 coupe and a C6. Seems like a good upgrade to me.
So, what color you getting?

Without driving one I wouldn't have known how much I like the C5s more. This is personal preference and yours may vary, but you won't know until you drive one around.

I drove a C6Z with 520rwhp and it wasn't all that great. My biggest gripe is it was noticeably smaller inside the car. I'm 6'3 240lbs and have ample space in the C5 compared to the C6.

I can understand why you feel the way you do. No sense having a car that is uncomfortable for you to drive.
