Still a beautiful car, and wonderfully smooth at speed...
But the guy I know who has one is trading it for a C6 Z06 the moment they are availible (even trade to avoid tax at the dealership) because its too slow and expensive to mod for big power (and he wants to outdo his friends with modded C5's).
I look forward to running with those guys out at Barber Park August 27-28 with the Alabama PCA. I'll see how my Z stacks up next to the C6 Z06 or his 996TT (if his deal falls through).
