Look for a private owner with lower mileage. There are still plenty of garage queen c5 z06's out there.

Lets see... You have 30K to spend right? I bought my 03 Z06 with 44K miles on it for $23500 TTL. That leaves you $6500 left. You can get a lot done with $6500. Also you can find a lot better deal than mine if you just wait and look and be patient... Or you could buy a already modified Z06, but personally id buy stock and have fun modding it. Lets just say if you buy a C5 Z06 you'll have tons of money in your pocket vs a C6...

I can't see how any one could make a valid argument based on their personal preference on which car looks better.

You are going to spend more then $6500 to get a stock 346 to 700rwhp. Fuel sytem, upgraded intercoolers, 8 rib pulleys, cam, etc... adds up quick. Then when the motor decides to let loose your out another $3000+ for a built shortblock.
