And few people will seriously start with a C5 coupe when the C5 Z06 is so cheap and accesible.

I mean in reality, you coul dleave the LS6 stock, except for headers, intake and muffler, and upgrade the brakes/suspension a little, peal off some weight and be absolutely dominant in many catagories.

Where as doing the same thing with the C5 coupe requires replacing pretty much everything, as the 'base' C5 Vette is far below the C5 Z in stock form.

Its like trying to start with a stock Mistubishi Lancer gutless rental and trying to build an STi killer, vs just getting a used EVO from the get go.
Rc45 but if you can't chose a rwd and you hat to pick a awd car what would you pick?
