Headed back to C5 from C6 again!

Well I have had about six C6 coupes now, and I am once again going back to a C5Z06. I just love the look and feel of them, although the tech toys in the C6 are nice. I am picking up an 03 black Z tomorrow! I will post pics soon...

The C5's ARE nice that's for sure...

I sold a C5 2.5 years ago, it was a great C5 too, BUT my current C6 made me for forget all about that C5. I've never looked back...

Pretty amazing you've been through 6 C6's. Seems kinda of crazy actually, but who am I to say, right?

Enjoy the C5Z, they ARE cool.

Well I did buy, and sell an 06 Z06 that I would have love to have driven for a while, but just too much money for my toy.

Obviously most people won't believe you when you say this BUT I really do prefer the C5 to the c6. It took me a while to realize it but the latest and greatest isn't always the best for me. I always loved the C5's since my dad had one in 1998 and now I am totally happy with my 02 coupe and plan on keeping it forever!! Also modding of course!! : )

a wise choice C5 is a much nicer looking car. looks is 95% of the cars appeal and it's no slouch on the road.
