I gave my C3 to my son so that it would stay in the family Headers and side pipes too much for grandma and grandpa
C5 excellent car
C6 took my heart and like Nav Onstar power so smooth

Safety Car
C3 - I miss the sleek lines and proportions of my '68 vert and the sound of the '69 factory side exhaust that was added.
C6 - I love the power, braking, handling and overall reliability and comfort

Tires
Believe it or not, I can take 4 tires to the races in my C4s.
Two in the hatch area, one in the passenger seat, and one up in the spare tire well area.
Can't figure out how to do that in the C6.

I forgot one
I agree with all of you that pointed out to the hood on the C4. I do enjoy being able to open the hood and get to most of the parts I wanted to adjust or remove and replace. I can only immagine that the seal around the c6 hood will require replacement sooner.

likes on my sold c5 z06, i loved how the rear window on the c5z didnt slope all down to the trunk like the c6 does, also loved that my c5 was as fast as my c6 with less mods. much cheaper. but i hated the outdated technology of the c5 like the radio/dash, headlights, etc
likes on c6, much newer, updated like it should be, removable top, headlights are awesome, the sharpness of the body unlike the c5 was more round, warranty, onlything i dislike about c6 is resale value and my high *** car payment but thats to be expected

Can't open door when in reverse (unless you use release on floor)
Can't fit much in small compartments in cargo area
Can't stand the look of Nissan type silver painted console (so chucked it for carbon fiber)

1960 and 2005? Almost impossible to compare - they are lightyears apart. The 1960 goes to car shows, the 05 goes everywhere else. Both are beautiful cars. The 60 gets more looks than the 05, but that's it. In every way the 05 is far superior. It should be with a 45 year advantage in technology. I love em both, but there is no comparison, nor should there be, IMO.

The '70 and '73 were excellent cars for thier era -
My C5 was great and with 435RWHP, was a blast to drive.
The C6 is an extension of that and more refined. Soon, it too wll bost of >400RWHP
