Tindall2006 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Anyone do it? I love my c5 but it is starting to look dated, and the style of the c6 is pretty nice compared to it. I also like some of the creature comforts like heated seats, keyless starting, MP3 player supports and stuff... Guess I am torn right now between dumping money in my c5, with 180K on it, or offloading it before it blows and upgrading to a c6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grudes Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Get a 2008+ with the LS3 Didn't you say the LS3 was crap in the SS thread? Get a Z06 C6 with an LS7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit Charlie Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Get a C6, sell me your C5 (pending it's a 6spd) and don't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStowers023 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Upgrade to a C5Z. H/C/I w/150 shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 you could supercharge your C5 otherwise I would buy a used C z06 or a used C7 base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindall2006 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I really do not want a Zo6, I like having the targa top! I also forgot about a twin turbo setup.... Guess that would make me want a c6 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I have a supercharged c5 convertible and love it! go with a procharger and dont look back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sometimes I regret picking up my scat pack and think I should have opted for a C5 and modded the piss out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't think the C5 looks dated. I personally don't care for all the electronic crap in the newer Corvettes. I don't hate the newer ones but the C5 has a lot going for it for me. Modern performance, just enough electronics to make it perform well, and a design that I think will look great for 20 more years. To each his own, I debated about a C6 with the LS3, but for a little better engine, and wide body of a Grand Sport, I just didn't want to pay for the difference. If you're not at least going to upgrade to a GS then don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I really do not want a Zo6, I like having the targa top! +1! When I get around to the buying myself a Corvette it'll be a C6 targa most likely. I'd say upgrade if it was me. Your C5 has got to be getting worn at 180k and even though I've been in a position for awhile to pick up a C5 I just couldn't bring myself to do it because of the dated interior.

JaronsToy Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Nice car but with high miles a supercharger will show you what shape the motor really is in fast. You need to also think of how long your going to keep the car after you boost it and if you need a motor and trans rebuild can turn into big money fast and you will not get your money back if you sell it Maybe Look for a used procharger and save some money or I would get a c6 grand sport then you get take the top off still go drive a c6 I bet you will fall in love remember your the one that said it looks dated power will not fix the looks Good luck with what ever you do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pntbll309 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'd go c6, they are just overall better. The quality, performance and imo looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
