Why not? still a bad ass machine and the miles are right. Looks clean AF.

The c5z was a BEAST in its day (still is) and took down Terminators all day long and twice on Sunday.
c6 is quite a bit more HP yeah ?

Yes, about 35 more HP, but only if you buy a manual after 2008. The LS2 in the c6 (05-07) was a turd IMO and the 01-04 z06 ran harder. This is a fact.

In 2008 the LS3 came (manual trans only!) and somewhat leveled the playing field with the older c5z in performance. The c6 is a more refined, less raw car than the c5z.

The c5z came with all sorts of VERY trick shit at the time. Fiberglass or carbon fiber fenders ( i dont remember which), the wheels were magnesium and specfic to the c5z, a lighter battery, aluminum pedals, sodium filled valves, Ti exhaust, thinner glass, reduced sound proofing, .. etc etc. The LS6 engine was specific to the c5z. The whole car only weighed 3100 lbs!

In summary... its a bad ass mofo lol.

Completely agree. C5z looks better than a regular c6. Still miss mine.
