The general? Do you mean my gearhead-in-training?

I love the swoopy lines of our cars. I will give it to the C6 on the rear quarter panels though, how they flow into the door. I like that over the straight line on the C5, but overall prefer the C5 looks.

I see lots of people talking along those lines but it is the c5 forum and most if us hear have c5s. I think you might find different opinions on the c6 forum. I love my c5 but if I could afford a c6 I would in a heart beat. I think some "not all" of these comments may arise a little out of jealousy. But hey there are some of those c6 owners that say the like there c5 s better so were all entitled to our own opinions!!! : ) if its a corvette it looks good in my book!!!!

Well said and I agree. I went from a C5Z to a C6Z. As far as the C5 goes, Im much more of a fan of the Z or FRC than the regular version. My opinion on the C6 is the same. As far as C5 to C6, to me the C6 is a tighter looking machine and more compact making it more appealing to me.
Note; If at the time I could have kept my C5Z when I got the 6, I would have....

I could have bought a C6 when I was looking for a Vette, but I didn't want one. I wanted a C5 because I think they look a lot better. C6's have sharp body lines while C5's are rounded and flow much better from front to rear for a more impressive visual appearance. Plus the nose scoop makes them look like a Viper from the front.

A bag of 10 was $13 with tax. I only needed a few, but figured that they're cheap enough, and break often enough, to keep spares around.

Looking good Ed !

I saw his car last weekend, and the white really stands out in a crowd.

Hopefully there were some ladies admiring your ride ? Any panties thrown in your window ?

There were a couple. No panties yet, but after the drive-by from the groupie last weekend I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

I like the C6 improvements, but the C5 has the curves.
