is slightly faster then the z06. My friend did 172mph in his z06 with out a problem, handles well and everything. But the c6 is much better, last time i was at the track sep17th down in socal there was a yellow one, old man driving it pulled a 12.2 bone stock. C5 And C6 Are one of the best american muscle cars, specially when it comes to money. But then again, your Z is just beautiful, i would hate to let it go.
