Default Upgrade or downgrade?

Thinking about trading my 120,000 mile ISF 2008 for a low mileage 2008 c6 with a ls3. Just wanted to see what you guys think.

All about personal preference and what you're looking for. If you've been wanting a C6, then it'll probably be an upgrade in your eyes. For some of us, we love our ISF's and wouldn't trade it because we value our cars too much, but to each their own.

Horses for courses. What’s your course?

Is this your only car, or a toy/weekend/fun car? If the former, an ISF is ok to live with daily, a C6 not as much. If the latter, a low-mile C6 would be a gas. C6 is a great generation, right up there with the very late C1 IMO. If it moves you, go for it.

IMHO, 120K on a Lexus would be equal to 40K on anything domestic. I bought this to be a reliable, high-power daily. Emphasis on reliable. If this is a track-toy/hobby car, do whatever's gonna make you happy.

All depends on your plans. I loved my C5Z but definitely would not have daily'd it. If you're only going to have one car, hard to beat the ISF.

Edit: stick or auto? C6 auto trans are dogs. Much less fun/controllable than the ISF trans.
