Had to dig for this to see what your driving impression was after all the years in the C4. The C5Z is an entirely different car for sure. I loved the tight cockpit feel of the C4, but the chassis stiffness was immediately noticeable to me. The car is also a handling monster and very planted. I think the LS6 had such linear power delivery, though you are used to the LSx platform.
So, what's the plans for the car, stock, mod mildly or mod widly?

I bought it from Toy store Corvette in Florida.

Yeah...it's a tough one. It's hard to beat the supercharger considering the price of a kit. I really wanted to build N/A but, my track use is limited and on the street it's more about small viscous rips. I ended up going AA and at 580whp/512wtq...the chassis handles it amazingly well, and the car is just a balanced beast. I put suspension and brakes on it....I couldn't be happier. I almost bought a C7 Z51 in 2013...but waited...then C7Z came out and I thought maybe...but, I can't let go of this car and take on that much debt when this C5Z is so damn good.
I think either way you go you'll have a hell of a car. These C5Z's man...they're the purist's Z imo.
Here's a vid from a chilly morning after my car was in hibernation for a bit. The tranny was a little stiff that morning but...to give you an idea with the supercharger and how usable it is. BB quad bullets/ AR headers/ AA kit/ supporting mods. Luckily no more living in cold *** pgh anymore...lol. Most of the vid is just various part throttle but, speeds get illegal quick and the *** is all over the place on cold pavement...it gives an idea though...I rip it fairly hard toward the end, but still not a full hit
