Nice! Are you getting it mostly for track or street? If street how was the interior for you? That's one of my biggest issues with the c5 still. The interior and the outdated look over all.
From researching it does seem like they might be more fun though. Ill have to test drive c5 z06 as well as an ls3 c6. I'm sure I'd mod it up can get an idea. No idea what suspensions options are out there for c6 vettes yet.

I LOVE the exterior styling, my head still turns everytime I see one.
For a nice fun street car, I'd have picked the Z51. It was ~$9K more, but had a nicer interior and removable roof. The Z06 felt racier, though, and got my heart rate up in a way the Z51 didn't. Ironically, it seems to get a few more mpg than the Z51 as an added bonus. Both were very comfortable.

^ I find these posts a bit hilarious.. It's like there's some forum disease afflicting this thread and now that one person bought a Vette' everyone is selling their S and buying one as well. 
Can't wait to see these people post about missing the S and wanting another, and how poorly built the C5 is other than the drivetrain. For God's sake the interior alone in a C5 would keep me from ever wanting to drive it with any passenger, imagining a friend saying "Damn, 50K car and looks no better inside than a Cavalier.. 
" (Corporate gauge faces, vents, radio, etc. shared with tons of other GM junk, horrible Cav/Camaro/Blazer dashboard layout, flimsy seats, hard plastic everwhere, the list goes on..) And then someone on here compares it to an S interior wise.. 
The S may not be as fast, but it IS built much better than any C5. I almost bought a C6 recently but couldn't stomach the acres of plastic inside it either, nor the view out over the hood. Drove awesome (convertible, 6MT).
But on subject, this thread truly made me wonder about how people think sometimes... Kinda makes me wanna study psychology..
