If it was black and an auto he'd probably call you today. He hates manuals and loves black. (Has a black M3) He's talking to a guy in Atlanta right now about his 2002.

I agree with him; When he parks beside my C5, it's clear which the best looking generation is

Please do not take this the wrong way… So you got a C6 just because the C7 will be out in a few years and the C5 will be old?

….. That is about the stupidest most ignorant thing I have ever heard.
I could understand getting a C6 because you truly like the car. You felt the C6 fit your personality. Trying to keep up with the newest and best thing just is not the smartest thing to do. I really hope you enjoy the C6.. I will be keeping my C5 and look forward to seeing the C7 and see if I want to add one to my collection of corvettes…

I truly see your point. Some would say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I personally think the C5 is sexier and the FRC is the BEST model of them all!

To the OP enjoy your C6! These are just opinions and none of us are making your payments, the C6 is a nice car, just not others bag.

Congrats on your new ride, Don't mind all the haters, There is nothing wrong with the C6, Took me awhile to get used to the headlights, But I like them, A C6 looks great slammed.
Enjoy your new ride.
