Had both and have a C4 and still disagree but you know what they say about opinions.
When i drive my Z to work the first time the people were like Wow now thats a corvette (vs the C5 coupe and C4 coupe i have driven there). People constantly want to go for a ride. Never got that with the coupe.
I think the car is 10G's better, actually it was about 8 g's more for me when i made the swap this summer. I won't go back.
Still love my C4. Maily cause nice condition ones are fewer and farther between each year. When it come to overall driving though the Z06 wins in every area, it should as it is much newer technology. Like em all.

I prefer the C4 because on weekends when I want to drive something different....I can get into the C4 and enjoy. Even though it was more powerful and handled better....driving my C5 was like driving my Grand Prix GT DD and I could not justify spending $30k plus on something like that.
