C5's are pretty reasonably priced these days, and 345HP is sufficient. 30 MPG on the freeway is a pretty good deal.
The Z06 only comes in COUPE and the suspension will jar your guts loose. Consider all pros and cons before buying.

C6's have even MORE HP and ALSO get real good MPG (around 28)
What more could you ask for?
