C5 looks more streamlined than the C6.

LOve em both!!! Great Pic!!!

I recently sold my 2003 EB/Mod Red Z06 due to the fact that the C6 was on the way, and I wanted to get out of the market before it took a major nose dive.....


Even though I am partial to the EB Z, seeing that it was my first Vette, I am afriad I am going to have to side with the 6 on this one.....

The 6 has really been growin on me, and this is the first pic nose to nose that I have seen, and I also think the edgy lines on the 6 makes the Z look a little dated..... But we all know, C5 are like a fine wine.... They are good, possibly even better with age!!!!

Both are sweet cars. I'm not sure about the C6 color though. I not quite sure if I like it so much in natural sunlight.

Only kidding, I like both cars but prefer the C5...
Just my opinion.

you definitely can notice the difference in the shorter nose on the C6 in the picture. The back end looks almost the same,

It is pretty close. I need to see the C6 more to decide, though the C5 does look sleeker.

They favor a lot and because of that it makes the c5 look dated.

They're both gorgeous.....

IF I hadn't seen a C6 in person I would've bought a '03 Anniversary in Anni Red and Shale interior.

But - the "6" looks so.....serious! I good blend of the elegance of the C5 and the angles of the stealth fighter.....truly a car for the new millennium.

OK oK so I get carried away... but I think GM managed to get the look of ALL the generations of Corvettes in the C6.

One can only wonder what a C7 will look like....rear engine transverse V8 w/turbo or fuel cell/electric with forward opening doors.........

LOL- now THERE'S a thread!

I like the long low one better than the stubby tall one.

The C5 looks a lot longer than it really is, compared to the C6.

I only wish they would have spelled the name "Corvette" across the back just below the crossed flags.
