I Traded This for This
 
Wow, what a difference between the C5 and the C6. Much quieter on the road is a big one for me. Getting used to the keyless thing is a weird one. All in all the new C6 is much better, I just wished I could have kept the C5 in a garage somewhere. Any ways here is before and after.

Both are nice looking rides.

Congrats - and welcome to C6.

2 beautiful cars, good luck. If money was no object I would have stuck that ZO6 in a garage as well.

You could have kept it in MY garage! :rofl:

Seriously, thanks for sharing. :thumbs:

JimmyLee 11-23-2012 11:14 AM

Looks like you took good care of the C5 and I can see why you might have kept it had you the storage space. I plan on keeping my C6 when I purchase a C7 in a few years.

Wayne O 11-23-2012 11:24 AM

Congratulations! They're both nice cars but I think you'll be pleased you made the jump to the C6. Enjoy! :thumbs:

Tom45 11-23-2012 11:25 AM

Both cars look good! :thumbs: Your neighbors will probably think something looks different about your car, but won't realize it is actually a different one.

QUAKEJAKE 11-23-2012 11:31 AM

Both nice rides. The fixed roof coupe is the only C5 body style I like. Visually makes the car look smaller.

jlsru 11-23-2012 11:38 AM

Both beautiful cars. Would have been great to keep both but one is better than none. Congrats on the new Vette.

RickMG 11-23-2012 11:43 AM

Good choice. Know when you're going to really realize it? When you remove that top you'll see what you've been missing. Enjoy. :)

:iagree: When I traded my torch red C5 for my JSB C6 all my neighbors thought I had the car painted.

boraxman 11-23-2012 11:56 AM

Good deal/:thumbs:

May have changed color myself

JerriVette 11-23-2012 11:57 AM

When I first saw the c5 you posted I was like how could he sell that beautiful car?

Then I scrolled down a bit and became clear...

Smart choicei favorite color favorite model....

What options etc did you get on the cool new c6?

Torchsport 11-23-2012 12:02 PM

Nice upgrade. Looks like my TR GS. :thumbs:
That was a sweet Z! :rock:

I doubt they will think anything looks different. :sadangel:

Maybe they'll notice the headlights.

RaisedOnVettes 11-23-2012 08:44 PM

Good Evening,
Congrats! I just did the same thing, only in white! I wish I could have kept my C5 as well, and agree with you on all points.

Before:

After:

Good luck & enjoy!

Rossi6998 11-23-2012 08:56 PM

You do know you could have gotten a different color, right?

Just kidding... Nice upgrade!

OK, your neighbors have to realize you didn't hack the top off and this is a different car, right?

RaisedOnVettes 11-23-2012 09:10 PM

I can't say for sure if they know or not? They do not talk to me now because the exhaust system on start-up wakes the dead, especially since I back it into the garage...oops! Sounds good tho!

You mean all Corvettes are not white or red??? :rofl:
Funny thing is I was not even looking for white when I got my C5, now I really like the color...:thumbs:
We will see on the next one
