C6 v. C5 Revisited
Now that there are a number of C6s on the road, in the hands of former C5
owners, what is the impressions of the change? Worth the $13,000 swing from the 04 discount to 05 Sticker? |

I've had both and the C5 wins hands down. There is less rear vision with a larger mirror, less room in the drivers seat although it is said to be more. Not sure how they did that. All of the jokes about the C5 being the "Fat Ass" Corvette now has a rival that is 3" wider and 3" taller. The C5's paint jobs that I've had were better than this C6. The electronic toys are a pain in the "Fatter Ass" Corvette. The 400 HP feels just about as strong as the 350 HP C5 although I'm not were I think it is broke in yet. The engineer/designer that put the black, many cornered, and jointed piece on the bottom of the dirt sucking rear end should have to wash then until the warranty is off. If you think the C5 interior is cheap wait until you sit in the C6 for a while. Sorry, but this is a reskined C5 at best. Did I mention the front license plate mount, PPPPPUUUUKKKEEEEE. The bright side is the Z51 package, they got that right. The functionality of the headlights is the best I've every driven, still don't like their looks. If brakes, tires, (old Z51 didn't have the big brakes and Supercar tires), and headlights are worth $13,000, have at it. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

Rufio started a controversy when he said... :
