I have 18k dollars, should I buy a c5 z06 or a c6 z51?

>>13839863
They're both the same amount of fast stock, but the C6 will be faster with mods and the LS6 is already worked up compared to a regular LS1.

>>13839878
Yeah, this. Go for the C6.

$18k gets you an LS2 c6.


Get the c5 instead unless you absolutely hate the look.


An LS3 c6 has much, much, much better mod potential, resale value and only costs around $3-4k more. Plus it's a tiny bit faster. Make sure you get one with the z51 package.

Gee I wonder who was pushing harder, not to mention the advances in tires in the last decade.

C6 for sure.

Basically anons on here hate Frosty so much that they'll disqualify one of the best cars out there for literally no reason other than butthurt.

Don't listen to any of these "hurr hurr Civics are faster than Corvettes". They're bench-racing neckbeards and don't validate their pathetic attempts at trolling by giving them (You)'s.

Personally I'd go with the C6 Z51, better interior and it can easily surpass the C5Z with a few mods. Plus better resale value down the line.

Well its not an American car so it can turn and honestly id probably want the clubbie more than a corvette.
At least the clubbie has 5 seats, a lot of interior space and a huge boot to put things in.
plus they have the same engine in them.

>>13841772
>it can turn
No, it can't. It's a pigfat aussie skidmachine. If you want more seats and space you wouldn't even be considering a corvette in the first place.

C5s and C6s are basically the same car as far as the chassis is concerned
LS1/LS6 vs LS2 is pretty similar as well
Main difference is looks
If you can find a LS3 car that would be a better option

Honestly I would find a modded C5 non z
I bought a 00 FRC for 12k and has a ton of mods almost makes the same power as a stock C6Z to the wheels

>>13841995
LS3 can make 600 pretty easy
I am talking at the crank
A few cam full bolt on cars have made over 520whp which is a bit more than 600 crank
This is on stock heads as well

>>13842480

Ehh I'd go C6 just for the updated interior and it looks a lot better.

Plus better resale value. 3 generation old Vette don't sell that well.

>>13842480
The chassis are similar, but the C6 has many differences and the suspension is changed. The C6 is a better car in pretty much all ways and you have to mod a C5 for it to compare to a stock C6. The C6 is a better starting point for mods unless you can't afford the car to start with.

>>13842480
They aren't identical at all bro, especially in terms of suspension.

>>13839863
Neither.

>>13839912
I don't even particularly like corvettes (I'm more of a porsche guy) but if anything, this picture is a testament to the performance of the C5 corvette. With technology that was antiquated even by 90's standards, the Z06 can almost keep up around a track with a modern, awd, racing-bred, performance vehicle after nearly 20 years. Not to mention the corvette comes from a country that has historically produced cars that can't turn for shit.

>>13849111
But the C5 doesn't use antiquated technology and the Type R isn't AWD.

Why the fuck would you want a corvette other then to be a special snowflake in Australia (not many corvettes here in aus). The hsv clubsport is such a good car.

>>13852062

Uh an ls1 miata ends up with like 48/52 weight distribution, factory weight distribution is like 49/51... If you idiot weebs actually looked up the ls1 specs you might be surprised. Sure its a push rod ancient tech motor.. But it does 400hp and weighs the same as a fucking sr20det that makes 200hp.

Don't get me wrong m80 I love rotary's but you can't deny they're not pants on head retarded to own and modify when you compare how easy a piston motor is.. I owned an rx4 Bridgeport turbo in the 90s, loved the car dearly, but when I realised it spent more time up on jackstands or in workshops then me driving it I decided to buy a piston car.

Are you retarded? Do you know what auto union workers get paid in the U.S? About 40 dollars an hour before benefits and everything.

C6 is a better car all round but C5 looks much better imo. That targa model.

>with only minor intake and exhaust mods it won't require rebuilding for probably 200,000kms maybe more
no, it will just need to be rebuild every 100,000km because of bent pushrods and spun bearings
