Not that I think the C5 Z is a better car than the C6!

Prior to buying my 04 Z in December, I was considering the C5Z or a C6 with the Z51 option. In April I drove a C6 Z51 and learned I made the right decision. Don't get me wrong the C6 is a great car, but for my driving style the C5 Z is the perfect fit....now a C6 Z....well if $ weren't an issue...
