The C6 is not for everyone - and nothing wrong with liking the C5 better. Good luck finding a Z06.

2. Rides to smooth
The only time we can complain about a ride being too smooth
I was thinking about a C6 too, I drove my C5 to the dealer and parked it next to the C6 I had my eye on - my female friend came along (BTW - she knows nothing about cars) and quickly said "Why are you looking at that for? I thought you wanted Corvette?
The looks of the C6 still hasn't grown on me...but the Z

Just wanted to let everyone know that I went from an 02 C5 to an 07 C6 coupe. Added the widebody on the C6. Had the C6 for about 5 months and I can't wait until I sell it to go back to a C5. This time I will get a C5Z. Everytime I drove past one in the C6 I regret getting rid of mine. I am not looking to turn this into a which is better debate. But I would like to give my personal experience and advise. First of all to those that are thinking about "upgrading", DON'T DO IT!! It's just not worth it. After owning it for 6 months and adding 10k miles I came to realize it rides like a smooth fast 4 door sedan. It doesn't have that "raw" sports car feel like my C5 did. And the looks of the C6 just didn't do it for me. Only reason why I traded my C5 was because of the 0%. Boy was that a mistake. I thought I would grow to like the C6 but I can't. Anyways I will be lurking in the C5 for sale section for a Z for sale. I will post pics when I buy it.
FYI ~ Reasons in order why I am going back to the C5
1. Looks of the C6 can't grow on me.
2. Rides to smooth
3. Interior sucks
4. Doesn't have that raw appeal and feel when driving it
5. I like the pop up lights.
Anyways just wanted to share that with you all. Again I don't want this to turn into a C6 vs C5 debate. Hopefully for those thinking of pulling the trigger on a C6, this post might shed some light.
