Default Moved up From C5 to C6

Well I have been wanting to move up from my '01 Torch Red MN6 for a year or so now and finally found a C6 I really liked.
It is an '07 Monterey Red with the Cashmere interior, 3LT, Z51 with the full Audio/Nav. system. Previous owner installed the Z06 rear quarters, black chrome Z06 wheels, American Racing long tubes, K&N carbon fiber filter, painted FRC to match exterior as well as the calipers. Bast part, 11,000 miles. It is the 6-speed auto paddle shift.

Here is the C5 that is now gone:




My new (to me) C6

I really like the cashmere interiors...I would like that if I hadn't gone with the 1LT trim on my '08.

Never had a C5 so I don't know what the upside is other than the displacement increase, but they sure are more civilized than C4's.

The MR and cashmere make a real nice combo. The wide body is a good touch.
