I haven't been disappointed with the Bose stereo at all and can listen comfortably during all types of driving. Most of the time I prefer it off so I can enjoy the sound and feel of the engine.

C55 is about 4.7 0 - 60 (with rollout) which is right in line with the Z, but it's the 30 - 50 and 50 - 70 times (real world passing) that it smokes it. 376 lb ft is ridiculous, believe me. I had a WRX before this & had to recalibrate passes when I got this beast, I was on cars too quick. It's almost too much torque, especially in low speed corners. Difficult to feed it in gradually with the throttle tip in and the "tossability" factor just doesn't compare. C55 = autobahn stormer, Z = canyon carver. Canyon carver = fun to me. Z would be a bunch more fun on the coast roads around here.
