What were your 60' times?
I disagree with the first part of this. My C5, when it was stock, would have out-performed my new 370 in every aspect. I squeezed a 12.23@111.23 out of the C5 in bone stock condition (with drag radials); 11.51@118.50 with headers/intake. Granted, few C5 owners know how to drive their car to its fullest potential so my times are certainly an outlier. Same goes for handling. I could hit a corner much more confidently in the stock C5 than I could my 370. With basic suspension modifications, the 370 will be right where the C5 was when it was stock.

I will say, however, that stock for stock, the 370 is considerably more enjoyable and rewarding to drive. It is much more refined than the C5 and I don't regret the purchase one bit. For the days when I need break-neck power, I'll pull out the Vette; but, I look forward driving the 370 to and from work every day.
