You may have had a Corvette, but it wasn't a 97 or newer if yours didn't handle well. The C4 Vettes handled OK, but I'd agree the Zs handle better. But the C5's were meant to be tracked straight from the factory. The handling and braking on the Z06 was top-notch. The C6 Z06 has even better handling and is arguably one of the best track cars in production.
I made the unfortunate mistake of buying a 2002 C5 corvette with an automatic trans. It was the worse car I ever owned! The front nose is so long that the car always felt awkward and nose heavy to me. I kept it one year and sold it off. It was plagued with electrical problems and rattled like a Model T.

I think its great that you love the vette, you can have them! I can't knock a Z06 as I have never driven one, I would however expect much from it as it carries a very heavy price tag!

Bottom line, I love my 370Z and I feel its by far the best performing, best handling, and best looking car out there for the money. If you dont agree, than I really question why you are even here on this site! There are many Corvette forums out there for all you vette nut huggers!
