I can't DD my c5z.

A C6 is MUCH better for daily driving than a C5, worlds of difference.

C6 is more comfortable, "roomier" and in general, I don't feel claustrophobic all the time. (and yes i'm comparing to non-modified interior C5, not a caged fixed seat monster)

I drove the car all the way from Huston to Nashville when I bought it and did not experience any discomfort. Ask your mom to let you DD hers for a week or so before you make your decision and your choice will get a bit easier.
Thanks for the comment bro. When she 1st got it I drove it a lot and I liked it. Just lacked comfort after driving and riding in a gto, Im just scoping out opinions and such to see what my best bet is as in buying another car down the road. Thanks again.

nope, only reason I sold the Z was the mortgage company miscalculated my debt to income ratio and said I needed to get rid of it if I want to buy my first house. Well after I let the Z go dirt cheap ($27k in 2005 with 19k miles) they give me a call and say.."oops our mistake, you didn't need to sell your car." Needless to say i was not the happiest person in the world after that phone call. Oh well atleast I'm back in a vette .
