Owning a C6, on the other hand is monster bang for the buck!
Oh, and I see a lot of the C3 in the 6 also. In my opinion the C3 was the last desirable corvette until the C6 came along.

C7 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist 2021
it's the best money I have spent - it is an amazing car, I have made new friends because of this car and I don't mind all the compliments I get (especially from the females)

Having owned C-1s and C-2s, in the past, I definitely see the resemblance of my C-2s. The rear fender rise and the front fender slope really reminds me of that, when I'm sitting in my C-6. Of course, that's where it ends. The C-6 is eons ahead of the older ones. And, I like that, a lot. I'm very lucky to own this car after all these years without. I love driving it and maintaining it. It's a joy to own.

And the idiots who make righthand turns directly into the far left lane, long before they are up to speed.

I see a badass looking ride that with the slightest touch of my right foot turns into a wild beast every time I ask it too.. and I see a thing of beauty!! Yes,I agree the fender bulges remind me of the c3 Generation..the C6 is my favorite style along with the C3 and the C4,yes,I said C4.I love that body style too.

2018 C6 of Year Winner
What I see in the C6 is 10 years of technological advancements over the 2000 C5 we are selling. Power, handling, steering, braking, you name it, is improved over the C5. Don't get me wrong, I loved that C5 and still do. I went to the shop that is selling our car today and seeing it sitting there & not in my garage was painful.
What I wish I saw in the C6 was better gas mileage! It is hard going from 29-32 mpg down to 22-24. But it is 80 hp more than the LS1 and you can feel every one of them when you want to pass someone.
What I feel with our C6 is blessed that my wife & I can own and drive such a world-class automobile now that we are retired.

Yep. Got it home and the first thing
I noticed was the fenders, as I sat
inside. Immediately pictured my
'77. Big ole' bat wings.
Don't even notice 'em now!

I agree that the first time I ever got in a C6 for a test drive, it was the front fender bulges that really caught my attention. For this guy's eyes, it continues to be a joy to look at from every angle.
How unfortunate that several people wrote to say their corvette was a money pit; a vehicle that doesn't offer good value to cost ratio. Mine would be gone, and I wouldn't be hanging out on this forum if I felt that way. For me, the value to cost is excellent. Other than the purchase, it's only cost a few minor things, like wheel balance and alignment.

I see wide-open roads with limitless possibility and a beautiful girl next to me. Whether my 8 year old or my girlfriend, life is good.

I see a professionally redone C5 with a bigger, more powerful engine and an amazing (NPP) exhaust. While it does have sharper lines and a tighter stance, I can't help but say that I really do still see a C5 in it. Just...better in most every way.
