Is the C4 better than the C5 because it has more character? Does it really have more character?

Really? Using the C6.R as an example is stretching very, very far.
It doesn't have to meet government crash test standards or feel pressure from CAFE either. The first is a big reason is a big reason why cars get redesigned or discontinued.
The C6 as a street car is obsolete considering the future environment of automotive technology and government standards. Period.

Hell.. why even bother with a 2013 GS. A real deal would be purchasing a 2004 C5 thats never been driven. You can probably pick that up for $30,000 of sticker price. Because after all.. the entire point of the C7 section is talk about how much money you saved on an older model right?

I guess none of us belong here, since NO ONE owns a C7 yet.........

When I want to talk about my C6, I make sure to do so in the C6 section.

The difference is this thread started out comparing the two. One could argue it belongs in either section.

CF is not a general car review site; it's an enthusiast board. Real enthusiasts visit & participate in these type sites - in the sections of the series they personally like - or want to enquire about. They would never try to reduce a fellow enthusiasts glee for a particular model/series.
If you like the C6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 better than the C7... post in those sections. You'll get a pat-on-the-back.

Just checked the title of this fine thread, it says C7 makes C6 obsolete. No, it did not say C7 makes all previous corvettes obsolete which both Tadge and C7 leg humpers could have easily state instead of aiming specifically at C6. WTF?

I'm sure they just assumed/inferred that logic applies sequentially in reverse chronology - which, from their perspective, it does.

Isn't there a mod on this forum going by TACT? He should explain to Tadge and the leggies what his name means...
