Interior looks amazing
I of course would take a C7 over a C5 simply because its newer and has more value, but on the long term scale of things, I honestly believe the C5 is a better looking vehicle.

It was really an unexpected pleasure, especially after about a 5 mile ride when he pulled over and said "you want to drive it back" well Twist my arm 
I was of course very respectful but man Nothing drives like a brand new car, I was really impressed, Its a very impressive ride, What I thought was really cool is how the screen for the stereo slides down to open a hidden compartment for you the put your wallet and phone, its really a super sweet car.

One thing I did note, I am not so small 6-1, 245, it is a lot tighter than jumping into my car, of course as things break in they tend to loosen up but, it was tighter, But by no mean uncomfortable,
its a super nice interior.
its a super nice interior.

The C7 color combination (car/wheels) on your photo (OP) is gorgeous.
I'm one of the guys who loved C7 from the first photos seen of it, and still again when I saw it in person. Recently I saw C7 Z06 live, and it's beautiful and all Corvette, too, with similar colors (wheels).
But, because I appreciate C7, doesn't mean I think C5 one bit less beautiful, at all. C5 Corvette has what I believe are timeless lines and curves and styling. This car is sleek, and powerful looking, and in the right colors and stance, is truly gorgeous, in it's own right, second to none!!!
Long live Corvette, Americas Sports Car !!!
