Time for a Vette! (finally) Ok come October I will finally be pulling the trigger on buying a Vette.
This is like comparing apples to oranges but doesn't a C6 without the roof feel as fast as a Z06? I also found a great deal on a C5 Z as well.
I have the ability to buy any of them, so comments suggestions would be helpful. The C6 is basically the same price as the C5Z. The Z06 is double, and may just put a STS turbo on if I go for the lower model.
I have ridden in a miata, stock and turbo and without a roof you feel like your going a lot faster than you are.
When it comes down to it I'll have to narrow it down to 2-3 and drive them.
All thoughts comments and experience would be appreciated.
This will be my daily driver btw. Few more months down the road I'll probably pick up a 4 door car too.

PS I have heard NOTHING But good things about the C6 so that is a no brainer. Plus they are safer.
I actually rode as a passenger in a C6 and C5 back to back at an autocross.

You can't go wrong with any Vette.
When I was shopping it came down to the best bang for the buck.
I looked and test drove many.
I wanted something reasonably priced, unmolested and clean.
The C5Z and C6 are both great cars in their own way.
Whatever you decide to get... enjoy.
