The appearance of the ZO6 is a big step up from the the base of course with the ZO6 having the larger rubber and associated flared wheel wells. I drove a base C6 with he Z51 package when I was car shopping. The difference between that and the boxster S where huge. The raw power of the corvette was staggering vs. the rev happy boxster. The big turn offs for me where the less then intimate cockpit feel plus the corvette was so wide it really felt like you were driving something BIG. The boxster has that go kart / nimble feel. Now if only if I could squeeze that 400 HP into a boxster...

I agree with all that the C6 is a big improvement over the C5.
