Default C5 or C6

Hey guys I'm in no rush on a new toy but I sold my 2002 TR ZO6 back in febuary and it was for the perfect reason I now have a handsome son to fill my joy but I talked to my wife and she gave me the green light to buy another vette because I sacrificed my dream car since I was 8 years old, needles to say she didn't want me to sell but I thought it was the best thing.

My questions to all my vette comrades i want to know what y'all think about which I should go with I've driven the c6 and it was smooth as can be but my c5 z felt more like a racecar so any imput would be greatly needed

Thank you
Johnny

Not knowing your price range it is a little hard to answer. If it were me and I had the dollars for a new C6 (not including the ZR1) it would of course be C6 Z06. If not new then look for a low milage C6 Z06 or a Grand Sport. If those are out your range, then I would most likely go for a C5 Z06 if you want that feel again, but if you truly want to upgrade look at the '08's and newer as they have the LS3 430 horse engines.
