i like the thin 5 spokes that are on regular c5's, and i really like the z06 rims (i was thinking about getting them, but decided on zr1's instead).

the 97-99 wagon wheel rims, i do not like. maybe i'll like the late c6 rims...

Hmm...is it available as a pure hardtop? It says something about a "roof package" including both a body color and glass roof panel. On the C5 the body color panel was standard and the glass panel was an option.

If that's the case I'd take a hardtop 6-speed with the 3.42:1 rear axle and Z51 package and not too many pointless frills.

do you have any information to back yourself up and are you just disagreeing with me just for the sake?


looking at chevys record for the past 3 corvette models, the interior I seriously doubt will improve.
