Default C4 over C6

Went to the Chicago Auto Show Saturday. The new Z06 was there it was yellow. It looked ok but I still think that the C4 looks better. The stylin is more crisp and timeless on the C4. Nuff said...

Damn, and I was planning on letting Mario drive mine, but I guess he won't want to.

I have always liked the C4's.

oh, so that certainly settles EVERYTHING ... I'll be surprised if Chevy sells another C6 after this news gets out!



what motivates such postings ... glad you shared that with me.

Performancewise and qualitywise..the C6 wins hands down...however,

I would have a perfect example of a low miles 1994-5 ZR-1 any day over any other C4,5 and definatly 6

Default Hmmm...

I own both, a red 92' vert, and a mag red 05' coupe. I really love both, but the lines of the C6 evoke emotion. You look at it and you feel the power... EVERY time I look at it, or get in it, I get this big smile..., every time... Definitely evokes the C2/C3 in my mind..., great heritage...

I love the looks of both, but nothing I've seen on the road looks better than the C6...

Just my 2 cents...

There are very few vehicles I can look at and appreciate it as a piece of art. Ducati 916, MV Agusta F4, original Shelby Cobra, 70 GTO, and of cource the new C6. But my favorite Vette will always be the 1954 Vette!

Sorry but the C4 just looks to plain in comparison to the C6.

I guess everyone has their own opinion and I respect that. I loved my 02 C5 but it was all over once I drove a C6! Nedless to say, a C6 is in my garage waiting for salt and sand free roads to go out and play.

Little did we know at the time that the high-mounted brake lights on the early C4s was going to be the styling cue that tied the C6 to the C4 via the XM antenna placement.

Gotta love those antiques - that's why I still have my 67 Camaro RS in the garage next to the C6 and leave my 01 Dodge Dak outside in the weather.

Anyone want to trade a nice first year 84 C4 for my first year 05 C6? I need to get into one of those neat C4s. Oh wait, I had three of them - silly me for getting rid of them.
