Default Sold the C5 FRC and bought a C6
Hey everyone,
I just made the move to my first c6 6 speed. Ive had a total of 5 C5's and I have always wanted to buy a C6. I got the car last week and its unbelievable in the difference in the ride. It came with a Corsa exhaust, halltech intake, H pipe, Cray Manta 19/20 wheels and a custom stereo with a double din touch screen radio. Wide body kit is going on it and then heads and cam to follow with longtubes.

Anything else you can mention between the difference of a C5 and C6? I really want a C6 Grandsport or C6Z but its not in the budget right now. Getting married and buying a house is consuming all my play money.

Many nice differences between the C5 & C6, one of my favorites is the indexing power winders

I've both & enjoy either one.

No way I would get a C6 unless it had a LS3 or LS7. I had a '08 Z51 and sold it to get an '03 Z06. Not as much power but is much better looking.

To be honest, interior seems more spacious to me. I loved the way the C5 felt when I sat in it. The ride is definitely smoother than any of my previous C5's. I haven't taken it on any type of twisties yet so I haven't really got the feel for the handling of the car yet. Overall, I love it so far and I cant wait to put the heads and cam in it! Jay
