You guys have sweet cars and will one day be the old guys on the block, just like us C3 guys.

My advice to you is hold on to the C5 because you love the style and the power.

Nevermind what the C6 or 7 has over you.


Peace!

My C5 is here to stay, unless a wreck takes her away, or takes me away. Thanks for the advice, and that's a sweet shark.

We have by far the largest selection of $100 floormats to choose from vs. any other car on the road.

What else could one ask for?

The C5 is a great car - GM got a lot of things right with it. I plan on keeping mine for a while. Very nice C3 you got though. I had several of them and still have some fond memories of the cars - after all, they were the first Vettes that I owned.

Our C5 is a keeper & I still wish we had our C3...always loved the lines of our '82. I am planning on a C6, but not because I love the new style.

I hear you loud and clear. Having 10 more payments is also great motivation to keep my Vert.
