Default C4 modifications

Just curious as to what possible upgrades on a C4's performance to "keep up' or beat a C5. What would have to be modified in order to accomplish this task? I don't want a drag racer as I use my 96 as a Daily Driver but would like to improve the performance enough to surprise some of the C5 owners that seem to want to run my shinny Torch Red vette.

Thanks,
Tim
