How do you like the new C6s? A new C6 passed me on the beltway yesterday. I think I like the C5's just as well if not better. The new vette just really doesn't do anything for me. 
If I had 50k to burn, I'd rather spend it on a used Z06
for 30k or so and keep the change 
rather than buy a new C6 IMO.

I agree, that is why I have a Z06, still waiting to decide if I will want the new z or not, I leased mine and might be looking into financing it all here not to much longer. I think the C5's seem to have stabilized in price, but who knows for sure.
The new Z06, will more than likely be out of my reach, so probably will stick with the car I have more than likely. Only time will tell.

Got a chance to drive one last year, nice car! Had a few things that I liked over the C5, most notably, the headlights. Navigation was also nice. 
But, it also has a few things that ensure I won't ever buy one. Too much electronic BS. Call me old fashioned, but I WANT a key in the dash. I WANT the ability to turn the car OFF when I want to. Also, I'm not hip on the push button electric door handles. Yeah, I know it has an emergency release. I want actual door handles.
I won't even go into detail on how hard it's been getting decent service at the local Chevy dealerships.
Bought the GTO instead & I don't regret it a bit!

I agree Walker. I like the idea of having a push button start, but ONLY as an accessory, not as a main sourse to start the car. On top of all that other electronic stuff, I dont really care for. I'd rather get a used Z, save up for some C5-R lights and mod it up vs getting a C6.

I admit, I do like the headlights. And from some angles it looks more aggressive. And, I haven't driven one yet (probably won't for awhile) But overall, I still like the C5 better. Especially when it comes to writing the check.
