So, I seen a few for around the same price range. Which would you guys prefer? A 2004 z06 or a 2005 "regular" Corvette? I believe they perform about the same. I'm not sure the differences in handling between the two.

The 2005, no question. Much better styling, IMO.
Z06 hands down..... but I'm biased I think it has better styling!
I agree with him but I am partial to the C5 Z's...Quote:

The C5 ZO-6 is going to be faster and handle better stock to stock.
^ not top speed
C5Z06 thanks.
Between those two I would say C5 Z06. You get to save cash and mod the Z. If you go on the Corvette Forum you will see that the 05 C6 have some "bugs" that later editions don't have. If you really want a C6 you have to get a 2008, with the LS3 and optional exhaust system you will be at 436Hp.
Z06 gives you a bit of exclusivity that you don't get with the LS2.
I will look at a vette, I will turn my head for one with badging on it.
c5 z06 outperforms the the 05
go rip through the gears in a c5z06 with its screaming powerband and you'll be addicted. It never stops pulling.
i agree. get the z06Quote:

Correct me if I am worng, but, didn't the C5Z come in notchback only? I only ask cuz I was at a car show in NY and there was, what looked like, a C5Z, silver, with mods and the rear fender vents were filled in. Looked like it had CCWs like Prestons.
Seriously people, speed wise there almost identical! Basically, pick which one you think looks better to your eyes. They will both be almost the same speeds of each other and run the same times.
ET's aren't everything....
2005. Better styling. Better Interior. Higher Top Speed. Nuff said
And for people who are saying higher top speed.. just take off the fricken speed govern. Cause technically I guess my top speed is like 300, top speed doesn't mean jack shit, were not driving a bugatti here people lol. Theyre both around the same price, both have the same power, difference is maybe handling and the styling obviously. Choose whichever YOU think looks better and feels better to drive. Either one is a win win situation.
YES the C5Z comes only in whats refered to as FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe) What you probably saw was a regular C5 FRC non Z06Quote:

Because you are going to use the higher top speed all of the time :rolleyes:Quote:

i believe its due to the advancements in the suspension with the magnetic suspension thingy ...but i agreeQuote:

i would argue that even tho it is the same on paper..they made improvements to the magnetic ride control that improved response for real time adjustments to road conditions.Quote:
