Just my opinion.
Your car is too nice to give away.

You're asking for opinions - here's mine. Keep your C5 and your $30k. Then take the remaining $10k and supercharge the C5 and fall in love with it all over again! Unless you've already done that, then just save the $40k!

let's see: C6 Z06 with LS7 engine.....

tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, Ka Boom.......

exhaust valves and piston parts all over the place.....

I'd keep the C5, SuperCharge the LS1, have more power, and it won't blow up.
Put the other $30,000+ in the bank.

but that's just me.
Good luck whatever you do.

I'd go for the Z06. That's the only C6 I would consider to replace my C5. As nice as your car is, do you think you could sell it for anything close to $35000? I think not.

tough to say. I had a C6Z and it was a sweet vette..but I did sell it and still have the C5. The C5 is such a great value to me...that it's tough to beat.

I think that you should keep your C5.

no way, not with a bad *** C7 Z coming. The C6 is not much more than a C5, the C7 is a different beast
