[QUOTE="DrZed, post: 16572547, member: 200056"] The C6 with the LS3 is probably the way to go, it was a little later in the life of the C6. The earlier C6, LS2's had harmonic damper issues (they would start to squeak and fall apart). A fluid damper is the absolute way to go, but a reasonable amount of work is involved in getting it in... Far less (if any really) LS3 dampers had this. The C6 also had heated seats. The C6Z shocks is a super cost effective upgrade to all C6 cars and makes a big difference. C6 targa top is very cool! These cars are very reliable and strong (sans damper issue) and have a great reputation of reliability. My buddy said it best who had both: The C6 is to the C5 what the C5 is to the F-body. A big jump up, especially in interior, but this is entirely subjective. He had a C6Z... that car is a BEAST, obviously has an issue with valve guides, but i have heard this is blow out of proportion. The C5Z is a "raw" car and if you want a true driver's car, this is it. I was going to purchase a C5Z after looking hard at C6s as well. Went with a Terminator instead (soon). [/QUOTE]
