Default C3vsC4vsC5vsC6vsC5Z06.....

Confused....ok, I have had 9 vettes, a C3, three C4's, three C5's and two C6's. Like most vette owners, I have moved up from older to newer, but now I'm back to a c5. I have to say and admit, my current 2002 C5 Z06 is without a doubt, the funnest vette I have ever owned! The c3 was "old school" cool, but so so. The c4's, one coupe and two verts were just ok. My 98 coupe, 2002 vert were pretty nice, fun to drive and much better than the c4's and c3. Then my c6 coupe and c6 vert were awesome. fast, fun and comfortable. But my current 2002 C5 Z06 is the bomb! Fast as hell, pure race car, fun to drive, looks great and feels more like a true sports car than any car I have ever owned! I have had BMW's, Mustangs, Camaro's but the z06 is just a blast to drive. I have driven a c6 z06, a c6 Zr1 and a C7 z06 and true they are all faster and truly sweet cars, but the c5 z06 is just raw, fun and feels more like a pure sports car than anything else. Anyway, just my 2 cents! here are some pics of past rides... Sorry, but found some old pics from years past and got carried away...Boy I wish I had kept some of my old rides.

Hell of a collection you've had there! Never really driven a c6z or c7 extensively, but I sure do love my c5z!

Also love your nissan z cars, sweet machines!

WOW !!!!!! you are one lucky dude and I mean that in the best way !!!!!
(not that you didn't earn them) my C 5 coupe is my 6th vette and the 5th was a 85 (new) and all though I would have loved to get a ZO 6 it was a long time between but is well worth it !!!! ( I love my C 5)

I hope you still have that Conquest TSI!!!

You gotta admit though, the 330ci and Z4's steering is pretty precise. I'd only say the ZHP and/or Mcoupe is better.

That new C5Z you got is mega clean though...such a nice car.

You've definitely had some nice cars in your garage. What's great is the C5 still can go out and hold its own against much newer cars.
