When I was in Collage, there were 6-7 C5s in the parking lot at any given time, usually more close to graduation. There are 2 TR C5s within 10 miles of my parents house.
Not as common as a honda accord, but you'd probably see at least one every other day on the road.

The basic difference is the 345 hp to the 405 hp on the 03/04 Z06.
I believe the 01/02 Z06 had 385 hp to the C5 345 hp. Body styles are virtually the same aside from some add ons to the Z06. (brake ducts, screens, fixed roof only,unless modified.
Oh yeah...dont forget the Z06 badges and rims. The rims are nice , but if i wanted a Z06 I would have bought one....not add the rims to my C5.
(dont quote me on ANY of these statements)
Good luck Fan on becoming an owner and not just a Fan.
what kind of Vette's is it?

Here in the Western Central part of Florida I usually see at least one Vette everyother day (Other then the on in my garage) But it depends on how far I travel that day. I love seeing Z06's thats what makes my heart pump faster.

I see a C5 maybe twice a week - small town and not a lot of C5's are out at any one time. Today I saw two C3's though and both waved.

There's no easy answer to this. When the weather is nice and I'm out cruising with a few buddies I may see 2 or 3. But during the winter months I can go weeks or even months w/o seeing one. I don't count club outings etc.
To put this in perspective I've seen exactly 3 Vipers on the road in my entire life and I'm 51.
