Ya'll have some very nice cars. For those that upgraded from a C5, was it hard to part with it? I'm quite attached to mine but with my uncle soon to have his, I'm getting the itch real bad.

I traded in my beloved c5 Commemorative Ed. that had 5k on it. I wanted a convertible. I am very very happy with the c6!!! It is better in every way to my c5!!!

I traded my C5 in for a BMW. It did not take long for me to regret that decision. I sold my BMW and now have a C6. I could not be happier.

I traded a C5 Torch Red 2004 3lt coupe for a Victory Red C6 3lt two top coupe in 2005. Couldn't be any happier, loved the C5, but the C6 is so much more car. Really can tell the horsepower gain and handles like its on a rail.

I really liked my C5, until I got my C6. Once you drive a C6, letting go will not be difficult.

It took me less than 6 months to part with my C5 Z06... only because I wrote it off... lol... then I got the C6, and have been driving it for 2 fun years now... fun as it is, still needs a bit more power... so TT it is!!!

Here were my thoughts three days after I made the switch.

Loved my C5 but when I took a C6 for a test run, that was enough to convince me to move up. The ride was tighter and more refined for the type of driving that I like to do. It's been 7 months with the C6 and I love it. Good luck with your decision. All vettes are great no matter the series

Traded my C5 Z06 for a BMW. Regretted it very quickly. Now I have a C6 coupe and although my C5 Z06 was my all time favorite ride I would not give up my C6 or go back.

I definetly like my C6 better, but I sold the C5 to a friend and everytime I see it, I want it back.
