Love them both. The C6Z looks meaner but there's something about the C5Z notchback look that I really like.

I could've bought a C5Z06 but went with a C6 Z51 instead....now have a C6Z06

Much prefer the new generation.

I always loved the C2 corvettes and have had my 66 Coupe for about ten years. It's my third.The first time I saw a picture of the C6Z I said "I've got to have one of those". The car has bulges in just the right places. I don't like the C6 but love the Z06. I like the C5Z in the same way that I like Corvettes in general.
Wouldn't you know it, my wife likes C3's so she got a 69 Coupe.

I'm always impressed by how great the C5Z still looks after several years, but it's the interior that makes me cringe! I think the C6Z is a visual improvement in every way over the C5Z, inside and out... but it's the 2001 C5Z that made me fall in love with Corvettes and start following Corvette Racing in ALMS, so it will always be a favorite car of mine.

I like C5 Z06s, heck I had 3 of them and 2 frcs. I'm not sure the looks of the C5 will stand the test of time as well as some other Vettes. The C6Z06 with its aggressive stance, splitter, etc. is pretty sweet.

C6Z. C5Z front looks really dated and jelly beanish now.

I had a C5 Z for 4 years and now I have a C6 Z. They're both great cars. However, the C6 Z is better looking, IMO.

I would like the c6Z with the c5Z's fixed coupe roof profile. I wish someone made an aftermarket rear hatch with a different rear window shape. IMO the c5 is to fat in the rear and to much front overhang.

I love the looks of the C5 body, especially the C5Z...can't really stand the base C6 narrow body look; however, the C6Z is a sexy beast.

I really like both of them for their unique attibutes over the base C5 or C6. Every time I see a C5 Z I can't help but take an extended look. I really wish I had both.
