I had the same choice, 03 Z06 or my 05 C6. Had I not looked at the C6 and went through with the purchase of the Z, I'm sure I would have been happy. My wife convinced me to check out the new ones though, and I was sold. However, having a dealer down the street that had the Z was a good bargaining tool at the dealer I bought the new one from. I got 2 phone calls from them sweetening the deal when I told them I had to go look at the Z a 2nd time before deciding!

For those who did provide some constructive feedback...thank you very much

If anyone is interested below are the results from the 3 polls I posted....

C5 general......77 votes for C6 and 43 votes for C5 Z06
C6 general......161 votes for C6 and 4 votes for C5 Z06
Z06vette.com......7 votes for C6 and 44 votes for C5 Z06

total....245 for C6 and 91 for the Z06....interesting results and as it was brought up in one of the forums...it may come down to which I fit in with a helmet on. I barely fit in my old Z with a helmet so Im headed down to the local dealer right now, helmet in hand to see if I fit in the new car. Could be the deciding factor

Neither. But, that's not an option on your poll -- which is how CNN gets the answers it wants every time.

well, it officially doesnt matter....went to look at C6s at my local dealer today and sat in a C6 back to back with a C5....I dont fit in the damn C6.....there isnt enough leg room side to side for my long legs, and there isnt enough head room for me with my helmet on. Guess its a done deal...another C5 Z for me which is unfortunate because the C6 has really grown on me and I was looking forward to owning my first brand new car

While I dont like the body lines of the 03 Z06,I do like the C5 Coupe.Now if the Z06 would have been offered in a Coupe,that would be a tough one.

Easy choice for me C6 Z51!

But it's your car, drive each and pick. Either way you would then have a super car------a Corvette!!
