Granted, few C5 owners know how to drive their car to its fullest potential so my times are certainly an outlier. Same goes for handling. I could hit a corner much more confidently in the stock C5 than I could my 370. With basic suspension modifications, the 370 will be right where the C5 was when it was stock.
I will say, however, that stock for stock, the 370 is considerably more enjoyable and rewarding to drive. It is much more refined than the C5 and I don't regret the purchase one bit. For the days when I need break-neck power, I'll pull out the Vette; but, I look forward driving the 370 to and from work every day.

DR on a car isnt "bone stock." DR make a HUGE difference in the performace of a car. on stock vette tires youd spin like hell trying to lanch it as hard as you did w DR.
Not bashing you or saying you didnt do it by any means. but i know (as well as you prob do) that drag radials or slicks make a huge difference.
