I like the pop-up head lights on the C5.... otherwise the C6 wins the rest of the argument.

The only thing I don't like about the C6 is the headlights. Aside from that, they're awesome looking.

Alright, here's my take...

C6z > C5 > C5z < C6

C6s look strange to me without the widened Z06 fenders etc. Both gen. Z06s look awesome to me.

don't remember whose car this is, and whoever that may be I hope you don't mind me posting this picture. but this is the slickest & sickest looking street Corvette I've ever seen. hence, C6Z dumdumdum!

i like the c6z's. the thing that pisses me off on the c5z's are the damn black scoops on the sides in front of the rear wheels. they look out of place to me. but i do like the headlights on the 5's more. pop ups are the sh**.

Personally, IMO, it would be C6ZR1 > C6Z > C5FRC > C6 > C5Z. I really don't like the design of the rear window on the C5Z's, it makes the rear end look too plain.

EB C5 Z06 = my favorite. Black C6s look sick as **** though. I always see this black C6 around here, lowered, chrome C6 Z06 rims...super hot.

flip up headlights look like complete **** when they're up, so the c6 wins just for not having them, and also that the *** end doesn't look so huge and vast

c6z> c6> c5> c5z> c6 zr1 (the sides are hideous)...what can I say? I don't like the frc look

first time i saw a shiny blck c5 with chrome wagon wheels on the street,
it stopped me in my fvcking tracks
but after seeing a yellow c6 with black and polished wheels, it reminds me of a supercar, man thats the only color i will take a c6 in.

C6Z06 by a wide margin. The flip-upped headlights aren't as slick as the rest of the C5, and the C5 has a wide rear compared to the more cut C6. That's not to say that the C5 isn't a great looking car, but I think that even WS6s and SSs have a LOT more going on than the bland C5.

IMO there is a diffrence between a "sports car" and a "muscle car." I'd find my head turning to look at a C5, more than a Camaro.
Vette's now a days are becoming affordable, and a screaming performance value.
