i know the c-6 is faster [stock] but I cant seem to justify spending
$20,000 more for a new c-6 than a real nice c-5 coupe.
Am I alone in this insanity? Dave

P.S. I have been sick ever since I sold my 97 coupe.
Go for an '04 Coupe that has been treated real well and perhaps has some of the things you wanted to do to your Vette before!

Like a SuperCharger or something

Take a look at the For Sale section here on the forum and you'll see a few you might like and at the right price as well it will be from a forum member too

Thanks,Matt

When the C6 first came out, I didn't care for the look too much. It IS growing on me, though, but not enough for me to get rid of my gorgeous C5.

Thanks for the replys guys [or gals]! I had allready put 3.42s in my
97 coupe as well as an intake and c.a.i. plus a pro tune. It ran its a$$ off and I shoulda kept it but momma needed a new car. [she deserved it for putting up with me for 34 years] I guess I still have "Vette fever". My next Vette will be #19 and I wish I could have kept them all over the last 45 years since I started driving!
LONG LIVE THE CORVETTE

I'm in the same boat!! Black Z06 C6 is the only C6 that I would consider.
