Thank you for the welcome guys. 
It feels great to drive a vette again! The Z06 is amazing! I'm really glad I stuck it out and did the extra shopping to find a Z06 isntead of a standard C5. I dont feel the need to throw heads and cam on it....right away
Missed it ALOT. I ended up putting a huge turbo on the RX8 trying to make it feel powerful enough. Even with 350rwhp it just didnt have the "guts" I needed. I would just get a "taste" of power at the top of the RPMs. I realized I was trying to turn it into a vette...and it would never work. It really is a great little car thoguh.
