I wish you were right in regards to the handling. Unfortunately the Z06 will easily out handle our Mcoupes. The guy above (Bob) took me for a ride in his at an autox last seaon. I was immensly impressed that a car of its (visual) size handles so remarkably. The thing definitely outhandles the mcoupe. As far as acceleration, it was boardering on frightening. I did not like the the interior, but it is one hell of a fine machine.
