I have an 02Z, which I DD for 12-15K miles a year from March through December. The 6 speed cars are surprisingly manageable, in fact, this thing has the lightest clutch I've ever driven.
Having said that, an 03-04 with the mag-ride suspension is probably the culmination of the C5 line in terms of technology. Since you've already got a HP monster, the only real need in making the 03-04 mag-ride an outstanding DD would be a double din nav unit.(contact Dennis at doubledmods.com)
Good luck with the hunt!

On a related note, I wonder what the longevity is on the 03-04 mag-ride shocks? As long as they don't develop leaks and the electronics hold up, I would think they might last a long time.

From 98 to C6. Thats like standing in front the Dallas cheerleaders and wondering which one is the best.
Pick any of them. Their more woman/car than you can handle in a day and they all LOVE to ride.

Buy the cheapest one in the best condition. You can add all of the upgraded stuff yourself. That's what I did.
I used to DD my coupe when I worked. It was a great DD. There is nothing like getting off at 6 am after a 12 hr shift with a 15 min drive ahead of you in a C5.
99 is the best BTW
