all that being said.. i didnt like daily driving it when i had to. i dont think its very practical as a dd but i know a lot of people will disagree.
i drove a s2k for 6 months and as much fun as it was.. if your over 6'2, look for a different car. just saying..
was wanted to add my 2 cents..

You made a lot of good points. The C5 is becoming "more pedestrian" and finding its way into highschool/freshman college kids hands more often.
However, the C5Z is the performance bargain of the century. Low 20's gets a nice one. High 20's, mint. The regular C5 is no slouch, running low 13's@105+ and pulling nearly 1G with good tires, brakes are good, and you're right, 30mpg on the highway is awesome for a 346ci V8.
Being a part of the 'vette community is nice. It's like an all-access discount card/source of inside info to all things relating to your car. Lots of cohesion to the community.
I plan on buying a C5 for my DD in a few years probably. I have been tempted to buy a clean C4 for a DD, but everyone has such bad things to say about those regarding durability, etc. and I love the LSX series like no other, so I will probably pass.
