Well, since your main goal is 1/4mi then get a base C5 or one already modified as stated. The rest of the package that a Z has would not be of any true use to you. Post up which way you go.

This same question could have been asked back in the day...
Should I buy the RS/SS Camaro or just the regular 350? Which would have be been the better buy?

If all you're planning to do is 1/4 mile racing, then the Z06 would be a waste. These are built for road racing. If I were you and was set on owning a Vette, I'd start with a base FRC (more rigid, less weight than the coupe). Just make sure to strengthen the output shafts before adding too much HP. The ~$10K you'd save on an FRC over the Z06 could be cam, heads, headers and hardened output shafts (400+ RWHP).

I still say a Z06 is a better buy than an FRC, but that's just my opinion... No insult meant to FRC or coupe owners. If I couldn't have a Z06, either of those would be my second option. I've already got a Z28.
