Soundproofing like Dynamat etc. just adds weight which has a detrimental effect on handling and speed.
The C5 is a purpose built sports car - first and formost. It is not a Lexus or a Caddy.
And for what it is, and what it costs - I think General Motors did an EXCELLENT job.

Aye, to each his own, but it seems to me that they've added enough luxury touches that a little upgrading of the interior trim quality - fit and finish and durability against unnecessary noise - would not be out of line. There are plenty of other purpose built sports cars which are more refined in fit and finish (Porsches, for example, heresy though that may be).
