C5Z is a powerful draw....
I love my C7, really do. Nicest car by all measurements that I have ever owned.
Buuuuuut, I really miss my C5Z's. These cars are so darn good and I am about to start the search for a toque worthy C5Z in silver. Not all things awesome can be measured.
My C5Z (gone but will be replaced)
(also for the record all of you C5 grand sport stripe people copied me...
)

The C5, coupe/vert or Z06, still can hold it's own against both older and newer Vettes. It has classic lines, very good performance and is really very reliable. I've been very pleased with the C5s I've owned.

I have to agree - I absolutely love my C7. I daily drive it and it easily lives up to the expectations set by the Corvette's heritage.
That said, there's still a special place in my heart for the C5. It was the origin for the C6 and C7 architectures combining cutting edge technology with great performance at a fraction of it's competitors' prices.

Well, I don't have a C5Z but I have come to appreciate the standard C5. Its new to me and I have a feeling this car will be around for quite some time. Good luck in your search.
