Even though I still love my C5, I've traded it for a new C6 triple black roadster. It's a Z51 6 speed. I'm supposed to take delivery next week.

Looking forward to hanging out in the C6 section(s) with you C6 guys/gals

Wish me luck with my new roadster.

Tom

Tom,

Welcome to the new family. You won't regret your decision (IMHO ) The car is amazing. I haven't regretted my decision one bit since making the switch. If you want a little light reading I wrote up my thoughts 3 days after making the switch from my '97 to my '05.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new ride.

Great Choice Cograts. You will not regret it. I skipped the c5. Had a c4. I never did like the interior of the c5. c6 is much more refined.

Don't forget to post pics.
