IMHO, the C5 Z06 is a best buy in used performance cars on the market. They are incredibly well balanced. A friend of mine bought one a few years ago and didn't know how to drive a stick. I flew with her to Chicago to drive it back, drove like a dream.
With the hardtop installed my Vert almost looks like a Z. 
Yes, it does, as do many others.
No screens front or side, rear brake vents, prolly have fog lights, no flared fenders on the rear, smaller tires, LS1 instead of an LS6, Z or Z06 or Z06405 badges, embroidery on the seats, reach-through rear end (no covers) titanium wheels, titanium exhaust.... but yeah.
If its an LPE, it really doesnt matter, and youre not going out of your way to make it LOOK like a Z by cosmeticing it all when internally its running like a "raped ape"
Gotta love em. Or hate em. Theyr'e like bitches.
You have chrome stock 2000 spokes on there also, so its not at all like your trying really. I would take whats under that hood anyday.
Pics?
