Do you have any idea what kind of car the z06 is? runs 12s..handles beautifully...I agree the reg c5 is alright, but the z06 is incredible
Everyone totes this car as gods gift to the automobile world. I found it to feel heavy and cumbersome nothing like I thought it would be. It felt like a C-5 w/ 50 more Horsepower IF THAT.
A drive in a Z-06 left me totally unimprssed and further cemented my belief that a well set up FC or FD for that matter for the fraction of the cost will dominate the mighty Z-06.
BTW - The Z-06 I drove was pretty well modded it had suspension upgrades an intake and exhaust. Yawn.

Yeah, not to mention that I work at a dealership and see Z-06s regularly and sure they have *****, they damn well should for their price tag, but seriously.... Who cares?? There are sooooo many better new cars for that price that I would much rather have. It is in reality still a C5 (woop dee doo.... 
) and is exactly what Jims5543 said it was. Very unimpressive, and deserving a big yawn in my book. Like I said, "Maybe a lifted eyebrow...... Maybe..."

c5 or fd? you know it doesnt matter cause within a year whichever one he picks is ganna be gone. Nuffin against the kid its just the fact that hes 17 and when i was 18 i already was on my second car, along with many others. Deff not the c5 if anything the fd. For the money saved on the fd your parents can spend on buy'n u a new car after the fact. Also trust me the fd is more fun to drive, lighter and it feels better c5 is heavy and maybe its just me but feels like it was made for a 50 year old guy. fd has better style plus the one your looking at already has a bodykit so hey thats a plus. I would seriously consider finding a nice fc tii in good condition doing some work to it and learning how to drive/handle a car with power, learn about the rotary world and have some fun. Then after a while sell the fc make your money back (if you dont crash it) and then get an fd your rich *** friends might get on you for driven an old rx7 but whatever let the power talk for itself. Whenever my rich *** friends say **** i just point out the fact that i just smoked their ***. also if you have the money you can make an fc into something reallyy nice if you know what your doing.

No offense but its people like you that made my first drive ever in a Z-06 totally unimpressive.

The Numbers?
405 HP 400TQ
3100 lbs
0-60 in 4 seconds
1/4 mile in 12.5 seconds
All for the one low price of $50,000
The thing I dont like about them is that they are like Camaros here they are everywhere you look.
Again, no offense my ride in the Z-06 was far from impressive. My Mini handles better that it and its stock.
