I've had my 08 for just two weeks and the difference between the C5 and the 2008 C6 is like night and day. You are going to love it!

At the risk of being labelled a blasphemer, I wasn't overwhelmed by the C6. It is a nice car for sure, but just didn't do it for me. I ended up with a 2004 Z06 instead...

The C6 is lightyears ahead of the C5 in many ways. It just depends on if those drastic changes make a difference enough for you to pony up for the price of admition.

The C6 is alright... I drove/sold one yesterday with a power convertible top.

Not worth the extra $300+ payment over the C5 though.... hell no.

My buddy who rents a room from me just got an '08 2LT base suspension coupe. It's a very very nice car, quite fast for bone stock, and the NPP exhauast is decently loud when you romp on it.

If I didn't have so much into my car I'd be all over a white/tan '08. Gotta love 430 rwhp and the same amount of torque from an intake and headers... oh and 5 year warranty to boot

No risk. The c5 z06 is still a better overall performance car. I like its looks better too.

My next 'vette will be a c5z06 and not a c6.

I'm going to finish up my C5 project and in a year or two I'll pick up a C6 for an everyday driver. In my opinion the C5 is a better looking car, but the C6 is starting to grow on me after a couple of years. A few tasteful mods on the C6 and it will be good to go.
