The C6 cars are yet another leap in performance and comfort over the C5. No doubt that the C6 is superior to the C5 in many ways.
The C5 does kick some C6 A$$ in styling IMO! In my dream world a silver C6 Z06 would be parked next to my C5. Never give up on your dreams!

C5 and I would have a C6 for the wife 
I do like the C5 better but any 2008+ is IMHO better
LS3 430+ HP and the Radio Bezel is Carbon Fiber stock
Thanks,Matt

I bought what I could afford...01 6spd Vert 35k miles, nice condition; $18 grand. I'm very happy with it, if my budget would have been more I think it would have been a C6 Vert, no complaints, the C5 looks good, drives good and I like it (75hp more wouldn't hurt my feelings at all)

I have a C5 and 2 C6's. The C6 is a tiny bit quieter due to better air flow around the body. The ride is a tiny bit better due to a 1 inch longer wheel base.
The C5 is considered by me and many others to be a far better looking car. The C6 has a stubby look to it.
I have the three to have the LS1,LS2 and the LS3 motors.
My favorite is the C5. I will never part with it. Black Coupe with torch red interior and automatic. I keep mileage low dividing rides with the other two. Its is at 16,000 miles and pristine.
