I would say stock to stock my 2ss would still be a better choice over a c5 zo6.

At AutoX, I always beat the ATS-V in the SS1LE, but the ATS-V still handles VERY well and is a very good car, probably faster in a straight line most of the time and good tuning potential.
A C5 Z06 is a unicorn in terms of power to weight and having tuning potential, but you still have a very tail-happy car that you gotta be careful bringing the power back on out of turns and drive like a "corvette". When you see people setting hero laps in these it's usually a full time handful job, it's not effortless. It's past the point of being an absolute joy at that point IMO, vs. something like C8 that they've just made amazing that you can put down the power coming out of the turn w/o it doing crazy stuff or having to correct 100 times a second. C05 Z06 still very good, but I'd take the ATS-V for everyday fun.
