I would say the price for a good C5 is reasonable. I paid 28K for my C5 2 years ago had only 12K on it. After putting about 22K in mods I am satisfied with mine and will not part with it. The Z I have done a few things to but not as much as the Vette. Plans are in the works for more on the Z. As funds allow.
I will post pics of the work that has been done to the vette if anyone is interested.
The Z so far JWT Pop Charger, Stillen Headers, Hi Flow Cats, X pipe, Stillen Cat Back. Sparco Torino II Seats, and Kenwood In Dash DVD/Nav/Satellite Radio. More to come..

I went from this 2000 vette to an 06 Nissan 350z ..
As a far a straight line performance.. No comparison... Vette hands down..
Handles well ( Like its on rails) ... And oh... yeah... Did I mention it was fast?
The LS1 V8 .. Had plenty of grunt , and gobs of low end torque..
Had a few mods, MidAmerica K&N Twin cone cold air intake, and a Granatelli Motorsports catback.. Ran 13.00 flats all day @ 109 MPH on my stock radials in 90 degree heat.. ( This was thru an automatic)
Down side. Sat very low, and scraped everwhere on a bump or dip , even getting down the driveway.
I could feel all the bumps and the road with this car..
Car did have its hick ups ... A few interrior rattles here and there.. But it was very reliable...
I may add... Also .. Most of the interior panels and build quality felt rather subpar , specially the leather seats.
Here is a pic of the vette before I sold it 2 months ago..
I can't really say I miss it.. But If I would to buy another vette ..It would probably be a 06-07 Z06 ...
Had this car for 2 years..
Bought a Silverstone 2006 Z .. Manual Base model.. and Well .. Its okay.. Defenitely smaller , more cramped... I hope its as reliable as I think it is.. As I have owned previous Nissan Sentras...

IF the vette had a bad driver then are it is possible or if it was a auto. I ran a C5 in my 350z with all my boltons and for the 1/8 mile i beat him by a nose but he walked me after that.

Low end torque is really pronounced on these...
I could have easily ran high 12's on drag radials...
My 60 footers at the track were 2.2's ..( I was running my stock tires)
With good better traction ... Those would have been high 12 second passes easy..

Well, I went from motorcycles to C4 Vette to 350z. The Vette was a blast, but I spent so much money on repairs that I ditched it. The Z has treated me much better.
