That your speaking out of some type of generalized dislike for American muscle or something. The C5 (and Z06) and very well built cars and far from cheap. They have so many different race-ready features its insane. Just ask an owner hwo easy it is to access various parts on the underside fo the car.... Plus, a C5 will outhandle a Z, and outaccelerate it stock for stock without much trouble. Its the best bang for the buck available right now, and has far more potential (speed and handling) than any car that you can just walk into a dealership and buy.
I woudlnt trade in my Z for a C5...But give it some respect...
