In every way possible

C6's are nice looking cars and they are engineered well, especially the Z06/ZR1. The "touchy-feely" people might have a problem with the interior though.
The C7 is naturally "better" because it's the newer generation 'Vette. All things get better over time (in most situations ). The 6th gen Camaro will be an improvement over the 5th gen too. Does that mean I'll suddenly hate my car? No.

If it comes out at that weight it wouldn't be so bad. Some vids and other talk have it at 3350. Which would just be way too much after saving so much in other areas.
