What's not to say about the Z06?  I bought it after
having a supercharged Mustang.  The build quality is
superb compared to the stang.  Tight as a drum.  It
still stands as the best roadtrip car I've ever owned.  
Just make sure you change the stock tires out, they
are VERY noisy on the highway.

Pros: Fast, light, great handling, 30mpg highway
Cons: Low, cleaned it more than I drove it.

Its no slouch stock, but if 350 hp/ 375 tq isn't enough LS-series engines are very great engines to build up. Cold-air intake exhaust and a flash program will net a lot of performance for the buck.
It handles like, well, ummm.... a Corvette!
The styling of the C5 compared to the C6 is not as aggressive, but I believe it is sleeker/sexier. Also, the C5 has more interior space than the C6 and, in my oppinion, a more aesthetically pleasing not only to look at, but to function in as well.
Another bonus is the suprising amount of storage available in the back. Even with the targa top secured in the back, the storage compartments that are built in offer plentiful storage oppurtunity.
A contributing factor to the amount of storage was the lack of  a spare tire. This is because the front and rear wheels ae two different diameters, and the tires are rotational. That also means that because of the lack of a spare tire, all Corvettes meant for the street need to have Run-flats installed. They are expensive to say the least. Some could look at this as a benefit though and say that I wont beat on my car as much. In the end, EVERYTHING on the car will last longer, and will HOPEFULLY be cheaper to maintain. That thought process is out there, I know, but work with it ; ).
Some of you may say that insurance and gas on a Corvette must be rediculous, but it is only $20 more per half to insure the Corvette(in my name) than to insure a new Chevy Aveo(in my name). That is 11 cents a day I know that I am willing to spend. As for gas, If I am driving to get good gas mileage, 30-32 mpg is no problem at all. I do play around a bit though, but on average get mid-20's.
One of my favorite parts about it is that it is MINE! Corvettes are one of the most affordable true sports cars, but in my age range, there is a certain amount of exclusivity about me being a 22 year old driving my Corvette around.

Pros: Styling, Performance, Handling, Affordability (trust me), Exclusivity
Cons: I will never have a slow, ugly car again : (    ........ lol

Pros: its FASSST
Cons: u lose traction in the rain easely, tooo much torque

This is a great, all-around performance bargain. Aside from the lackluster interior, it is certainly a solid car. Track performance is fantastic and the car is set up very well from the factory. It has a raw, race car-like quality to it that is all but absent in the new C6's.

Pros: Tons of torque, very quick, terrific handling, very capable track car, comfortable, good highway gas mileage, cheap to own
Cons: Feels "big", schoolbus steering wheel, poor GM interior, numb steering (though better than C6), lousy seats

I love this car! It has all the performance you will ever need, and it has plenty of cargo spaced thanks to the larger than average trunk. The top can be hard to manage some times and you need to upgrade the tires to get the most out of the car, but this is Corvette is one mean ride!

Pros: Fast, good looking and easy to drive.
Cons: Gets really hot in the summer and the glass removable top is a little cumbersome.

My 2002 Z06 was a beast... bottom line.  It was quick as hell,  handled like it was on rails,  sounded like a NASCAR,  and had a menacing look when it first came out.  I added long tube headers,  Borla exhaust,  short throw shifter,  VaraRam CAI,  and various other doo dads to make it a little more fun and more like I wanted it.  All in all,  the Z06 was and still is one of my favorite cars of all time.

Pros: Rocket acceleration,  on rails handling,  and a blast to drive fast.
Cons: The usual complaint with GM as a whole and Corvettes in particular... cheap interior.
