No way in hell I could afford a ZR1. I know, they are supposed to go for that around here as well, but they don't. Almost everyone around here has them priced from 38-44k. Its ridiculous. Thats why I am having to look further away to get one. Oh well, I have 2 months to find one, if not then I'll settle for a C5.

Hey Adam, long time no visit, nice to hear from ya again!

I'm about as big on Corvettes as you are big on my S-Class,

but I *finally* got to drive (and I mean actually drive) a Corvette yesterday, and I had fun. It was a black/black '03 or '04 Coupe with that optional glass (Targa?) top and the four speed automatic. Wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but man oh man was it fast! Sixty would come up on you in the blink of an eye...it was almost too fast for me, but shit that was fun! Good old fashioned high profile, American made, V-8 powered fun!

Personally, I'd hold out for a C6. To me, and the Corvette diehards may disagree with me, it's like Chevy went 100% on the C6, but only like 85% on the C5. It just looks much better inside and out, is faster, more contemporary looking, and it's got features and amenities the C5 could only dream of. But many C5s out there are much more affordable and are still quite hot.

Well, best of luck to you in your purchase and have fun!

I personally really like the looks of the C5 better, but the interior of the C6 is what wins me over in the end.

The C5 looks better to me as well. I think its the rear end of the C6 I dont like. It is nicer inside and has more power though. Tough call but I'd rather spend less and get the C5.

Hi Chad. Yeah, these cars are fun as hell. No such thing as too fast. I'm holding out for the C6, which I think is a better all around car.

I'm more on the looks of the C6, a lot more exotic looking and a lot more handsome if you ask me. Plus the LS2 and LS3 are great engines. And the interior, I couldn't agree more, I think its great looking.
