C6 is faster
C5 is prettier

Choose like you choose a woman

I personally prefer a pretty woman to a fast one because once you get them behind closed doors and you know how to drive them.....they are the same.....so might as well have 'prettier' to look at while driving.....

Whenever I get the temptation, I just park mine next to the C6's in the lot and......I still have my Black C5 Coupe. Wouldn't mind an LS7, someday.

[QUOTE=vette.mix;1579697775][quote=Zellerz93;1579696741]My dad had a C6, the 07 Pacecar Convertible, which i drove often, and a year later he got a 99 Convertible, for me to drive daily.
Nice dad
I was also only 17 (18 now) so insurance was insane... got to drive the 65 on my 18th b-day too
... Very nice dad!!!

If you mean this one, yes it is Very Nice, and best of all it has the LS7 engine with the steel chasis. Love the rims and dark headlights. Stripes, especially those, enhance the appearance and really look great on the C6 body. I will have to be careful not to park my '99 next to one. :

That's it. Must be the stripes because it's one of the best looking C6 I have personally seen.
