I guess if the midyear Vettes are ever considered dated, the same could happen to the C5.


Don't think that'll happen in our lifetime though.

Default again...few hrs ago...

had to move my car at work tonight after near start of shift, was partially blocking someone in lot, I heard "anyone know who's got that new vette????" i walked up, says; "bro u get a pay raise I havn't heard about?" ...just laughed. lol.
also, the ones that KNOW wtf C5 and C6 means, some definately do like the C5 looks better.....I'm undecided, I love it for sure, not positive if I like looks better than a C6, I would like a C6 tho....couple or few yrs......depending on wtf the C7 looks like...maybe I'll wait for that.????????

My 2001 has 75,000 miles and it looks like it is a year old. My 05 Silverado has the same mileage and it looks like it is 5 years old. I do see it as an older model, retro, or classic. I think they will always command more respect than the C4 and the disco vettes. It is a nice platform to rebuild and improve.
