Thanks for all your help, and especially the links and recall notice.
I was mainly wondering if the C5 could be made to compeat with the Z06 for a reasonable amount of money, but it seems the Z just has a few too many differences to make the conversion worthwhile. If I modded a C5, I might feel it was a Z wannabe, and feel the Z was just that little bit better. The hardtop style is growing on me a bit, so I'll save my pennys (!) and shoot for a Z.
Cheers for all the advise

Yeah, I too didn't like the Z's roof-line nearly as much as the coupes, but now it's the complete opposite. I don't like the hatch look anymore. The z06 looks is just so hard to replicate and it looks so much more mean.

Also, someone else earlier said some bolt-ons would equal the performance of the Z? Definitely not true.
Do you know how many bolt-ons you would need to get an LS1 to run 116+mph traps, which an '02 and later Z does bone stock right out of the box?
Here, read this, it will reinforce the decision it sounds like you've already made
