And to be honest, sometimes our back yard engineering conflicts with the original design of the car and we create all sorts of "issues" the engineers spent much time and money getting "right".

I have many personal vehicles and the C5 is the only one thats modified. When I get into the other vehicles I notice the exact same thing you are talking about. How quiet they are, how smooth the ride is and how little effort it takes to drive them.
The C5 is a special car that only goes out when I have specific needs in mind... otherwise it just sits and waits for that next mod or spin around the block (or 100 blocks for that matter) at warp speed.

Wow, I know exactly what you mean. As much fun as it is driving my car, there are times where I will choose to drive my fiance's Hyundai Elanta to run errands over the beast. I think my next car will be a Porsche 996TT, GT3, or E46M3- just something that I can leave (relatively) stock and still have have a blast with.
