My last car was a c6 with bolt-ons and z51 suspension. The engine is fantastic. The transmission is crude and requires brute force. The steering is numb. The interior - especially the seats - are inferior to every other world class sports car. The transverse leaf suspension just doesn't cut it compared to a good coil over suspension. The clutch takes over 100 pounds of force to operate and the engagement is all in aboout 2" of travel. It's good for road racing, but hard to launch well. Over all, it has a high 'hooligan' fun factor, but not a car you enjoy spending a weekend away with.
A 370z with suspension mods and supercharger is 20k cheaper, performs better (than the Z06) and is actually fun to drive.
