I would go for the c6 just because I like the c6 better.
That being said, right now I’m seriously looking to sell my three vehicles and get a 01-03 c5. I would rather have a stock c6 but right now I just can’t afford it and still do all the other things I enjoy.

i’d take the older built up c5 over the c6, but if it was between a 3rd gen f-body vs new (ie when i bought mine) i’d have gone with the new. depends on how old i guess

only I would spell “warranties” the correct way. 😃

all depends. for DD then i say new, for the most part (but not always). but for your ‘race car’ i gues it depends. since u said vettes as an example, i’d rather have a c5 built than a c6. but thats just me. i dont like the c6 as much (not counting the c6 Z06 of course) so for me i’d rather have a ls1 or ls6 c5. now if u r talkin Fbods, i’d rather have a 98+ Ws6 over a built 97- but thats just a counter example and mostly based on looks.

dd= new, stock, and with a warranty
toy= built the way you want it built regardless of age and model. If you want to build a new vette or a old muscle car, that’s cool.

for a daily? warranty + stock + peace of mind = win
