BM,
Before I drove the C5 Z06, I pretty much had the same opinion as you did. All of my Corvettes prior to the Z06 have been convertibles. In fact, I used to refer to non-verts as 2 seater Impalas. Boy was I wrong.
A stock Z06 has much more seat of the pants power than a stock LS1. Now, I still love driving my '01 vert with the top down. But when I have a need for kick a$$ speed, it is definitely the Z06.
My 01 vert is already at my house in Ft. Myers, and the '69 vert and the Z06 probably will be shipped there in the next 2 to 4 weeks. When I move down permanently, hopefully July time frame, I would be more than glad to have you over and we can take a ride in each, since both are six speeds.
