I'd expand that to include the C7 too.

I think C5 is as far forward as I'm going from the looks of the progression. Not a popular viewpoint, I realize... but, just how I sees it... But look at the $ it'll save me...

Would like to see Edmonds do the same comparison with a C5 Z06 that has proper tires (Michelin PS2s). Would be interesting to see how it fared with the Grand Sport with proper footing.

Well... I know I'm probably in the minority but I don't race 'em anymore. I can't use any more than 350 hp/350 torque anyhow. Now, that's NOT saying I'm beyond getting on it. Just don't want to beat it either.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about doing anymore than stock...

Let the beatings begin...
