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.

Fast car, needs to be shorter.

Pros — Lots of power
Cons — Too long, handling is only okay, could have been a C6..

This car had face peeling acceleration, ridiculous lateral grip, and ass clenching braking.

Pros — Power, handling, braking, style, presence, fuel mileage (when driven appropriately), unbelievable bargain at the time.
Cons — Seats have no lateral support, still carries that old gold chain wearing stigma with some people.

Had this car for two years so far, It fits me nicely, no other car can replace this for the price. Bone stock, dynoed 360rwhp 350rwtq on mustang dyno.
ran 12.3@116 in the 1/4 mile. Traction control and stability kicks in when it gets out of hand. feel pretty dummy proof. descent gas mileage, usually get 18mpg around town 28-32mpg on the highway thanks to the gearing. Head turner, handles great, Drivers car. cant go wrong with a C5 Z06

Pros — Rwd, light weight, Simplicity, after market, good looking, fast, easy to make faster, handling, can work on it myself
Cons — can be unpractical because space, drivetrain can be different to work on because of rear transmission setup.

Wow, at the time, 405 hp was amazing.  Now the base vette has more.  And the current Z06 has 500+ and the new ZR1 will have 600+.  This car was still a blast to drive and was an awesome deal.

Pros — Engine
Cons — Sun visor
