Hey, I can actually confirm this! My grandparents (especially my grandfather) is very much a Ford guy, but he owns a business and all that and he likes to buy his dream cars. He's also a pretty nice guy and lets me drive them from time to time. He once had a C5 Corvette (fire engine red exterior, same color interior.... it was weird
), and that thing
sucked to drive. Yeah, it was fairly quick off the line, but boy did it feel sluggish in the corners. He traded that in for a C6, and it's a lot better. Since he bought it new in '06, he's only put 6000 miles on it. Why? Because it doesn't feel like a "sports" car to him, just a regular car that goes fast... I think that's more of a compliment to Corvette than anything else, considering that when he wants to drive something fast he'll drive his Cobra or Boss 302. About a year or so ago, though, he got a Z06 and oh man does that thing handle phenomenally. If you've never been behind the wheel of a Z06, let me just tell you: it has incredible power and handling, more so than what it seems (at least to me, anyways). I've always assumed it would just be like the new-era Vipers, which are fast no doubt but handle like track cars (because they are). Nope. The closest thing I can relate a Z06's handling to is that it's somewhat like a 650 HP go-kart: everywhere you
want it to go, it will go. It's kind of hard to explain, but I hope you get the gist.
