Lately I have been thinking about moving over to a C6? Every time I see one on the road, I just love the lines the new C6 has. How many C5 owners have thought about trading in or moving over to a newer C6?

There's no right or wrong answer. Your going to pay big $$$$$ for not much additional performance. I prefer the lines of the C5.

As for performance, for less money that trading up ($10,000) you could install Brembo GT brakes, T1 sway bars and coil overs. That wouldn't really mean much on the street, but if you ever do HPDEs, your C5 would run circles around C6s. For about $6,000 you could do a head cam package and turn out similar horsepower to a C6 Z06.

Then if you DON'T want to road race, that opens up the whole area of forced induction.

Good luck which ever way you go. They are all great cars.

Don't get me wrong the C6 looks great but so does th C5, your going to pay more $$$ to move to the C6. I have been in a C6 and like the interior better in a C5. Really its up to you, whats inportant to you?

I too would move up to a C6. I came awfully close this summer in purchasing an Atomic Orange, however the dealer wasn't willing to budge off a 55k price tag!

The Atomic Orange is hot! When they first came out with that color I was on the fence, after seeing one in the bright sun shine, with a set of nice wheels, man that is hot.
