c5 is the body style that started in 97 and went till 03 or 04, then the c5 body style started. Both body styles had a zo6 option, and the c5's z06 style was only available in the FRC body style ( fix roof coupe )

I'd go with a c5 z06

The C5 body style went to 04 and C5 zo6's are your best bet if your looking for a 6 speed. Only go for the 02-04 year of Zo6 though being this got some more goodies than the 01 version. I dont think there are too many deals for used C6's just yet. Im planning on getting a vette myself soon, corvette forum is a good place to shop around.

He pretty much got all the basics. The difference in the '01 Z06 and the others is 20HP (385vs.405). The C6 Z06 is rated at 505. All only come in a 6-speed. If your looking for something a little more avaliable and with better deals look at the C5's.
