Default Keep my C6Z or C5Z

I have a C6 Z06 and a C5 Z06. I need to get rid of some of my junk since I will be relocating. I can't decide which one I should keep.

The C6 Z is a beast but the C5 Z MUCH cheaper and a very fun car in its own right.

Convince me which one I should keep.

Keep your C5Z because I don't want it and GIVE me your C6Z.

Easy enough for you?

Hum, lots of ls7 engine problems when Modding. C5s are rocks! The c5 looks better in my opinion. Are you making payments. Maybe it comes down to that.

are both paid off?

only you have the financial / situational information to make the best decision.

I prefer C6Zs, but I'm happy with my C5Z for 20k less right now.
