But the C5's were meant to be tracked straight from the factory. The handling and braking on the Z06 was top-notch. The C6 Z06 has even better handling and is arguably one of the best track cars in production.
I made the unfortunate mistake of buying a 2002 C5 corvette with an automatic trans. It was the worse car I ever owned! The front nose is so long that the car always felt awkward and nose heavy to me. I kept it one year and sold it off. It was plagued with electrical problems and rattled like a Model T.

I think its great that you love the vette, you can have them! I can't knock a Z06 as I have never driven one, I would however expect much from it as it carries a very heavy price tag!

Bottom line, I love my 370Z and I feel its by far the best performing, best handling, and best looking car out there for the money. If you dont agree, than I really question why you are even here on this site! There are many Corvette forums out there for all you vette nut huggers!
