That is crazy. I actually lived in Norfolk, VA when I bought it and we just moved back home to KS (just got out of the Navy after 6 yrs). It sounds like you got a great deal on an '03. I didn't look at my car before flying to Jersey to buy it. The dealer said it was in really good shape (I expect them to say that though) which it is for the most part except for the above mentioned flaws. Now I just need to save up for some rims/tires!

Both are great cars, but the fit and finish of the C6 is top notch. More comfortable than my CTS-V. I really don't know why you would stick with the C5 unless you like the looks better and want to spend less.....both cars can be made to go fast so saying one performs better is a couple mods away. If you go all out an LS3 C6 will not disappoint. Top speed is higher in the C6 as well if that really matters.
