They're probably similar in a straighline, but the Z06 should be faster around a track, by a good margin

my friend has a z06 and his brother has a c6.... the z06 is quicker...not by much, but it is... from an 80 roll they were even...that was stock... now they both have exhaust, intake and cams and the z06 pulls a little more... theyre both not the best drivers, not bad by any means.....but theyre equal.. so id say the z06 has a slight advantage

cheers!

If you pay equal $$ for both...I would go c6..its more compact (outside) and looks better...and if the performance is a little less...make it up by modding...thats what (I) would do

I'd say C6. The Z06 might be slightly faster, but the C6 looks better and has a better interior.

c6 ftw. better yet c6 z06.

i recall a magazine which claimed the c5z06 to trap like 117....then the highest stock trap for c6 i've read is 115 with a slip for evidence...somethin doesn't add up here, unless that mag was full of crap or my memory is owning me.

looks are opinions. I personally like the c5s better, the new ones look like wannabe ferraris. The c6 z06 is super bad *** tho. I still would take a c5-z06 over a c6 but wondering what the performance difference is. Seems like theyre pretty dead-even

All depends on what you want. Stock for stock the 05Z will pull just a little on the C6.

Want to mod: Tons of parts and performance upgrades for the 05Z plus you can pick up an C5Z used and throw some FI and some supporting mods for example in and be around what a stock C6 would cost and have a 10 sec. car

On the C6 the hot set up right now seems to be TT from APS and there is a couple of other companys out there doing the same. That set up will also produce 10's.

I like the looks of both but given the choice I'd go with the C6 seems more compact.

07ZO6 comin soon

Considering price, the C5 Z06 is a good choice. I've seen them about $25k with pretty low miles. Add heads/cam and that is a beastly street/track car.
