I felt like I was stuck in a cockpit and the interior quality made me miss my Z. I'm not sure how the C5 compares to the C6 quality-wise, but I can't really see myself driving one. The Evo and the Mustang GT are definitely not on my radar either. Evos are terrible on gas and I did hear the insurance on them is expensive. Mustangs are everywhere and I would never want to drive one simply because it's so ubiquitous.
Mine was a 2008 C6. I've also driven many C5's. The C6 is a HUGE improvement over the C5 in terms of interior quality (and pretty much everything else). To be honest, my 370 is not that much better as far as interior quality except for the seats. The seats in a Corvette are horrible.

What IS a lot better in the 370Z is the suspension. I had to install coilovers in my C6 because the Z51 suspension was a joke. The 370 inspires A LOT more confidence.
