New 08 ordered
Just ordered a new coupe a couple of weeks ago. White with red interior. 3LT,Z51,auto. Car is being made the week of 4/4. Hope that the "difference "is as great as my current 98 was from the 93 that I had.Any thoughts about these comparisons would be appreciated! Dr. Jeff

Congrats on the new ride. White with red interior is THE classic Corvette combo! I went from a 99 coupe to an 06 coupe and the improvements are AMAZING. Post pics when you get them and welcome to the Forum.

You jumped two improvements. The 08 is improved over the 05-07s. I went from an 04 to a 07 and loved it. I now have an 08 and love it even more. You will be amazed I'm sure. Congrats and good luck with your vette.

I honestly didn't think the C6 was going to be much different from the C5. After all, the C5 is a world class supercar. The C6 is just a minor refresh, right?
Wrong.
I went from an 01 to an 07 and the 07 to 08. Not only is the 07 a HUGE leap from the 01, the 08 is more than just a minor improvement.
You are absolutely going to love it.

didn't have a '98 or a C5, but had that '93 from new. and a '96. then this one. you can believe me, it's different from your current ride. maybe not as dramatic as from a C4 to a C6, but if you don't notice the difference, take it back. you'll need a refund.

I also went from a 99 coupe to an 06 coupe & although the C5 is a great car( I sold it to my brother who still has it along with his 07 C6 vert) it is at least 20 percent better & you're gonna love it.
