A C5Z is fun and very easy to drive fast.
The C5Z was considered close ratio with a freeway 6th gear.
Pulls 6th gear at 65mph at 1800rpm 28mpg+mph all day.
Great C5 info here.

They have first generation nannies so very invasive but can save the car.
Left stock they do great.
Cross the desert at 100+ with the AC on oil temp at 235.
Flog on track for 3 or 4 laps till oil gets hot then run cool down laps.
For serious track days they do great with some upgrades.
Video at Laguna my all stock 04 C5Z (nannies off) chasing a 14 GT350.
