not sure how long this thread will last but I won't be trading for a C6 coupe that's for sure.

Depending on the final stats of the Z06, the performance may be such that it will overcome my other dislikes. We'll see.

I am sure at some point I will move up to a C6, but no time soon. I love my car. Will continue to enjoy it, but eventually I'll be ready for a change and will move up a notch.

Honestly, I do not intend to trade in my C5 anytime in the near future.

My car will be faster than a C6 w/Z51 anyway so I'll stick with it Now when the Z06 C6 comes out I may have an itch, but I think it will be out of my price range.

My last issue of Autoweek had the first detailed pics
of the C6. As far as the looks, I'm glad I have my C5.

I've thought about it a lot and would like to have a C6, but I couldn't do it without selling me C5, witch i'm not willing to do. God forbid, if my C5 is ever destroyed, i would probably look for a C6 as a replacement, but other than that, I'm not buying another sports car until i can affor to have 2 of them

Maybe in a few years after the Z's come out and I can find a great deal on a used one. Not a big fan of buying "new" anymore...

C6 is definitely not in the budget anytime soon.

Not in the immediate future, 18 mos to 24 mos. Will want to see the Z06 version and how my investments do is a big factor. My 03 is paid for and still under warranty. Have serveral performance and handling mods planned for it. Eventually, I would like to have 2 Vettes as the wife wants one. If it's affordable, there's where the C6 comes in. Either I get a C6 Z06 and she takes the lightly modded C5, or I build the C5 to the hilt and she gets a C6 which will be our travel car. Either way there is at least a one and half year time table, which I will use to learn about the C6 and let it grow on me one way or the other.

Sold the wife on the C-5 based on getting it for under sticker price. You know that they will be asking sticker+ for the C-6. Plus the C-5 convertible is better lookin'

I saw a company on line advertising C-6 for $1500 < sticker. I'm keeping mine for a while, but I'm always on the look out for a second car!
