I really like the white C5 Z06.

Your new C6 looks great too. Welcome back.

Was is converted to a wide body? Trying to figure it out because it has the targa top.

Can't figure it out myself. European model? Has some wierd side marker light behind the front tire and a chicklet????

AFAIK the GS never had chicklets.

I'm curious about the side light too.

How does the performance of the C5 Z compare with the stock C6?

My guess is the C6 wide body conversion. Donor car was an early model C6 Z06. Explains the chicklets and the side marker lights (all C6 Z's have that hole for the side marker lights. Just covered with the Z06 emblem. Since its not a true Z, owner went with the lights to fill the holes I'd bet).

Very nice car! I bet you're happy to have that one. Very clean build from those pics. Enjoy!

Had 3 C5's and I loved the SWZo6 , But was never a fan of pop up headlights. Loved the C6 the day it came out with all the creature comforts..Getting old I guess....
