Well I happen to like the looks of the C6 and if your neighbor wants to get rid of his C6 for a C5 I have a Torch Red 35K mile 6 speed '01 I will let him have for his C6.

Good luck with the C6. In some ways, your 20K mileage C5 is "newer" than your 58K mileage C6.
Any Corvette is a great car, however it would be really tough to get rid of my C5. I would rather get a 2nd job to save the $$$ to buy another Vette than trade my C5. I think the design is timeless.

I'd have kept the lower mileage C5 if it were me but whatever you want to do!

Congrats, I probably would have got an '06 or newer, due to some of the gremlins that the '05 had. I personally will never get rid of my ZO6 for a C6, maybe a C6Z or ZR1. Enjoy your new ride!

Congrats on the C6, I was saving for one but couldn't find the extra cash. Ended up buying another C5, both are great cars. Mag Red is a great color, enjoy the new ride. Post up some pics, would love to see them side by side.
