[QUOTE="Polar Jet, post: 15155, member: 379"] C5 vs the C6. Constant battle I've been having for years now. As far as the C5 goes... I love the fact that people still think it a brand new car. I love the longer and wider stance it has over the C6, and the pop up headlights. Plus to me, the exterior lines and the interior is much more appealing to me, but the thought of a newer, more refined and better powered C6 is tempting. My problem is this... 1) I have moded my car to sound awesome to me ears and enough to beat out stock LS3 powered C6s in the quarter mile. 2) I would want to do basically the same mods to a newer C6... but do I want to reinvest all that cash. 3) I would want an 09 LS3 with F55 and the 4LT package with either the Ebony or the Ebony/Dark Titanium custom leather-wrap package. Can I even find one in an exterior colour I want at a decent price point taking into account the mods I would want to do? No, not at this point. My C5 is exactly where I want it to be in every conceivable way. Why give it away for less than it's worth to me and pay a lot more for a car I make not like as much? Plus every C6 I have driven has had MANY squeeks and rattles where mine is pretty damn quiet for a car that's 9 years old. One day in the near future I may consider a 2011 Grand Sport. [/QUOTE]
