I said the WS6...I have an 01 and would never get rid of it. I have tested vettes and ZO6s and just wasnt anymore happy than I am in my WS6. Plus I almost never see a WS6 going down the road...I see a vette almost as often as I see mustangs

ws6!!!!! vettes are nice, but TA's are just badass. they look mean right off the bat, and you dont see them on a daily basis like you would a vette. vettes are sexy dont get me wrong, i LOVE C6's but TA's are just drop dead gorgeous =D

but we can all give you our opinions, when it comes down to it tho, its truely your choice.

either car you pick, its still a badass LSx car.

C5 suck, i remember back in the days i use to see nothing but rich white people driving vettes now you see alot of POOR OH N!&&@$ driving them, they lost alot of value and aint worth it, a WS6 is a bit more rare than a c5 or any vette in general.

Anyone that's said a WS6 over the C5 has either never owned a C5, or is just crazy. The C5 is much nicer and its a Corvette. Enough said!!

Honestly both cars are great buy imo if you're considering buying a Vette, I wouldn't want anything less than a Z06 unless it was a really clean and modded Vette. I'm not too sure of what your price range is but if you're price range is $19k, you could easily find a clean WS6 for $12k or less and use the rest of your budget to mod it...
