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.
That's because C5's look much better and classsic than C6's.
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!!!!
I stopped by my local Chevy dealership parts department this morning to pick up some door panel clips to replace a few broken ones, and when I walked outside I had a small crowd standing around my Vette gawking and pointing.
There was a brand new C6 just a few feet away that everyone was ignoring, including its new owner.
how much did they charge you for those clips? i think i may need to get some too...

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.
