..."the C5 is another animal"? Puh-lease Maverick. I love the looks of the C5, but still 'know' my TTZ looks better! And for half the cost, a well tuned Stage III+ Z will outrun a C5 on the highway and run about even in the quarter. Yes, the Z need suspension and brake upgrades to compete, BUT we're talking about technology from 10+ years ago to technology of the last couple of years. BIG DIFFERENCE! Most all things being equal.......IMHO, I'll take a Japanese import over domestic everytime! I think you've been in your NA too long!! LOL :)
