It's a good car. I personally wouldn't have the old one though. Also not a big fan of the color matched headlamps... well... Black is ok.

A friend of mine had a C5 Z06, then a C6 Z06. After the C6 spun a rod bearing, he bought a Viper and loves it.

I love the C6 Z06 on paper. Not sure I'd be happy owning it though.

My college roommate has one and also a friend of mine at the track. Very beautiful vehicles, and having driven my friend's they handle quite well, very smooth shifting for such a vehicle.

I'll take all of them. I'm sure they aren't all Z06s.. however you can still appreciate the sexy body of a C6 vette. If I didn't need to buy a house I'd get a Vette as a weekend car.

Funny but I love the Stingray naturally. I remember the ZR-1 but it wasn't a poster on my wall. I really liked the C5 looks and prefer the hatch to the Z06s no hatch look to save weight.
The C6 is the first Vette I really, really can see myself in. I think it looks fantastic. I won't moan about the interior b/c its a sports car.

I think the current Z06 is fantastic and for the money, NOTHING comes close. And the same can be said about the stock C6.

In my mind best year for the vette ever!!!

1960 Vette




If car companies are going to bring Retro back they need to do it right.. However the new C6 is just..well, as I have said before.. sexy!

I prefer the targa top but this widebody Caravaggio C5 Z06 does it for me.
