Default C5 owners thinking about a C6 (PICS)

As a prior C5 vert owner, I know how much you all love your jelly bean beauties.

Just in case you are on the fence as to whether it is time to make a change, I thought
I would post some recent pics for you to help with your decision. Enjoy!

I think it needs a different front end, the black piece in the rear bumper painted to match your car and a set of deep dish wheels 19&20 from hre and then ill switch over. Also black interior and 6 speed please

Not a bad looking ride, but i'll hold off until the C7 arrives, assuming it will someday.

Very nice looking car and I love those photo settings.

Personally, I think both the C5 and C6 are beautifully styled cars. I like the flowing curves of the C5 and crisper angles and lines of the C6. You can like one and still like the other also. There is one of each in my garage.

Very Nice. Only way I'm giving up my C5 vert for a C6 vert is if it's already had the Widebody conversion. Now that is sweet

Very nice photos!!

Bottom line, I like all Corvettes. Some a little better then others. If money wasn't an issue I might have one of each C series. I would really like a new ZR1, but that won't happen anytime soon. So, for now, I'm happy with my yellow lady!

White is my favorite C6 color. Nice looking Vert you have there! I'll be keeping my C5 for a while - It's a great platform to mod!

You need white door pulls and spoiler to complete the look. Nice pics.

Nice photos but if I was going to get something in addition to my C5 it would be a C3, not getting rid of the C5. The lines on the C6 are just too sharp for my tastes.

Bingo. Not sure about the jelly bean reference but the C6 lines are just wrong until you add the wide body kit.

I think I'll keep the C5
