C1 vs. C6
Had not driven my 60 vette since I got the new vert. 45 years of technology improvements makes a slight difference. I'm afraid the 60, as classic and great as it looks, will be relegated to weekend car shows. This C6 just wants to be driven all the time.

Just remember, while your C1 is appreciating like crazy, your C6's value is dropping like a rock. When I had my new C5, I had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the C5 because I preferred to drive my 60.

Isn't the 62 or any older Corvette going to be more expensive/trouble to maintain

compared to the C-6 even though the C-6 is full of sensors and electronics that can also be alot of problems.

When it comes time to sell my '62 I plan to recoup most if not all of my costs.

70 ss chevelle last night and it was freaking awesome.These cars are meant to be driven but I agree completely diferent driving experience.I have trouble keeping my Chevelle in the lane at 65 around turns.lol
But bang through the gears of an old school Big Block at 6k and thats adrenaline man. But I have always been a chevy head and love the old ones too..I hate Fords period.....the gt I would take.
