Congratulations. I don't think you will miss the C4.
I haven't had my c5 for so long, but think it is great fun for a car.
i once tried to buy a C4 when they were rejected by the marketplace, and almost killed the product line. Glad the dealer didn't want to meet my price, as I knew nothing about the car beyond it had leather seats.
I now realize I would not have been happy with the car.
I like a lot of things about the c5 design, one being that it is the first modern corvette design, the first attempt to make a real sports car at the end of the gas engine era. So as these top of the market type cars are replaced by electrics, I have a nice convertible example of GM's first, and perhaps for now, best attempt to go world market with a gas performance car.
PLus the perspective from the driver's seat looks like a grown up version of the outlook from behind the windshield of the cars used in the Autorama ride at Disneyland. As viewed by a young child many years ago. Life is good.

Congrats on getting your Z06. You'll notice a big difference between it and the C4. Enjoy the new ride.
