Default Which one should I take to BG?

Less than 24 hours till I leave to head for Bowling Green for the Gathering and I still can't decide which one to take. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The C4 is the obvious choice because after all it is a C4 Gathering LOL but...... A: the car is 26 years old at this point and although reliability has never been an issue it is a long way from home and B: the car has relatively low miles on it, I'm not super concerned about putting miles on it but we all know that struggle. C: the C6 is a much better travel car, smoother, radio works great ECT.
I really am torn on this one, does anybody have any experience driving down that distance (about 8.5hrs) that they can share. Opinions? Advice?

I've driven my ZR-1 to Bowling Green 3 times. Last year I drove my car to St Louis and then put it in a trailer for the remaining miles to Carlisle.



I enjoy driving the car even though it has headers, no cats, X-pipe and B&B exhaust. Can you say loud???


Many now drive their C6/C7 cars to the Gathering or Carlisle and that is personal choice. But when the hoods go up, you know which cars people look at!!!

Have you serviced the cooling system (changed the thermostat, hose made sure the radiators clean check both cooling fans come on check the cap and has the correct concentration ratio) cooling system issue is what gets most vehicles in New Zealand
