Welcome to the forum, Dustin. I've tracked and Auto-X'd both my C5's, and despite the awesome performance of the C5 at play, I've never been more impressed with how it performed than in the t-bone wreck I had last summer.
I figure almost any other car would've been on it's roof. I got away with only a badly broken foot and huge rental car bills while I still await the repairs to be completed.
Our cars perform in all situations at a level above most anything else out there, and it's nice to know we're well protected from the DDs and just plain idiots out there, just in case.

Welcome to the forum...My vette saved my butt the week before xmas...A lady pulled out directly in front of me and I slammed on brakes REAL HARD, and swerved left. AH and TC lit up, as well as ABS, but I missed hitting her by maybe a foot. My coworker that was following behind me, said had I not stopped like I did, she would have rear ended me making even more of a mess...So yeah, these cars do accelerate pretty quickly, but the deceleration and handling is often forgotten when talking about their performance.
