Default Sat in a C6 and SSR today

Well today I sat in a C6 and an SSR. To tell you's the truth, if I had the money I would go with the SSR. It is alot easier to get in and out, and it was more comfortable.........roomier. The Vette was 58k and the SSR was 48k. So if I had the $ I would buy the SSR. They both have the 6.0l ls2 and the SSR has a solid axle with 3.73 gears. Plus I think the SSR might turn more heads


What would you buy between the two?????? C6 or SSR

I like the C5, they want to much $$ for those SSRs IMO. I've also heard the convertible top of the SSR makes interior noise on bumps, could be annoying.

yeah the ssr's are way too much money for what you get...... I got to test drive one and I told the guy I wanted to "test its accelleration" but duhh, I forgot to turn off the traction controll so I couldnt feel how much power it had.... wuz only the 5.3 though...... sc would fit niceley under the hood!........ C6 all the way

A fully, fully, FULLY loaded C6 coupe runs at $55,415 according to chevrolet.com. Of course that's MSRP not including dealer markup or TTL. That's with every last expensive option on the list. The one I'd be more than happy with only costs $48,440. And that's quite loaded for me.

I love them both...and although the SSR is slightly more appealing now that it's equipped with the LS2, the C6 will always own my heart!

I saw a red C6 on I4 the other day and I loved it!! I would buy the C6 in a heartbeat if I had the money. The SSR is okay but it is absolutely no C6.
