I sold my 05 C6 to get into the FRS,, it was my 5th Corvette. I bought my C6 in May of 09 with 14K on the clock for $28K ($44K MSRP) sold it at 125K. It was a base 1LT car with an LS2 and a 6 Speed,, black on black. Super car,,, only work done was replacing the harmonic balancer and the water pump. It was needing a clutch and brakes when I sold it. It was fast handled great and was a great daily driver. Frankly I considered buying another but after 6 years in that it was enough. I can see a lightly used C7 in my future.
FRS is a way different car and I do like it (commuter car),,, but the C6 is a much more advanced car. Imagine you can actually adjust caster, camber and toe at all four corners without replacing a bunch of parts. You put in a cam, headers and a tune you're pushing 500HP and it'll live a long time.
When shopping for one keep in mind some Corvette owners think their 9 year old car is still worth tons of money. They're not. I'd say buy a garage queen with low miles and few mods,,, from an older guy if possible. I'd go for lower miles that newer year with higher miles. Stay away from an 05 as there were a few teething problems,,, unless you geta really good deal. As for options,,, the only thing I'd pay for is Z51. The rest is fluff to me. Also,, a low miles C5 Z06 at the right price is worth looking at.
