Hey guys,
I'm new here, so just wanted to say hey and ask a quick question. My dream car has always been a Corvette, and I'm at the point in my life where I can afford one. My dilemma is between the C5 Z06 and a new C6.
The C6 (as I understand it) will be around 9k more brand new, but it has the same power specs as the C5 Z06. From what I've read, the C6 is quieter inside then the C5 Z06 and has some sort of transmission control mechanism that protects (prevents?) from certain shifts. Are there any other significant differences (handling, suspension, etc?) between the C5 Z06 and the C6 that I should be aware of?
The C5 Z06 is a car I love, but I can tell some differences in the body style of the 01/02's and the 03/04's. Did they indeed change the body of the car or am I just seeing things?
Lastly, purely an opinion question - which would you rather own; a new C6 or a lightly used (~10k miles) 03 C5 Z06? Thanks for your time guys
