The Z06 and all 2006 models have the smaller diameter three spoke steering wheel, which feels much better than the 2005 four spoke ones. The C6 overall steering and handling is not as responsive or nimble like the Evo. But be mindful of the RWD, 400hp, and fat tires. 400tq is what can really throw off the handling, if you're not careful in the corners. And that's just for the regular C6. Imagine 505hp and 500tq. Turn in is really nice, perhaps better than the Evo, but the exit is somewhat loose and lacks grip like the AWD Evo.

Personally, I like the overall handling of the Evo. But for sheer speed and power, the Vette is amazing. 7:59 for C6 Z51 and 7:43 for C6 Z06 at the Nurburgring should pretty much sum it up.
