Default c5z to c6z

Sorry guys, I was happy has heck with my 03EB z. Modded it to 411 rwhp...but could not stop the drivers side leak. Did everything the Forum suggested, dealership a number of times, seats out-carpet changed etc etc...still the carpet would be damp and got sick of the lingering smell. Got a deal on an 07 with 10k miles. Great car and I'm pleased. Smells good too!!

Congrats on the new ride. It's tough to make a case against either car.

Good Deal. Sorry about your luck with the 03. What color is the 07? Are the smiles per gallon a bit more?

Thanks for the replies. I dearly loved my c5. It was all I wanted till my issues with it. I loved the FRC look way more than the C6 window. However, I always liked the mean front look of the C6Z's. So, as I looked around, I found that the black new Z's with tinted windows sort of blurred the lines of the rear windows. If that makes any sense. Anyway, I surely love to drive that car. Got two road trips coming soon, the beach and North Georgia mountains. Can't wait!!

Wasn't that 03 on consignment in Atlanta? I think I saw the car drive out one day, lowered.. Looked and sounded nice if that was you..
