Good post Rich.
There's something to be said for buying a factory built street legal "race car" with different sway bars, less weight, thinner windshield, etc that goes along with the smaller group of Z06 ownership. Add to it the C5 Z06 having the small back window of the FRC style and I love the looks over the larger coupe window. The Z06 is the one who bumped the ZR1 off the King of the Hill status it carried throughout the C4 generation. While I loved the ZR1's, they don't stand up to the Z06's.
