He's right, I've driven a C4S and was about as unimpressed as could be possible. I've driven Audi's with way more *****.

If it's wet you may want to re-evaluate these two statements. Also, on a tight and twisty road the wide bodied Carrera's absoulutely fly.
BTW, apart from the small vent in the bonnet what's the easiest way for me tell the new Z06? I want to be sure that when I'm running C6's that I don't accidentallly come across the 7litre monster.

The Z also has side scoops ahead of the rear wheels, and a small black spoiler in the back. They're easy to tell apart in person, actually - the Z is wider and appears lower.
Oh, and there's that "505HP" badge on the side

Yeah, Evo and Autocar are great reads. I hate having to pay $10 each month though. Our mags are good and I like Top Gear too...but CAR magazine is so useless i'd rather read Car&Driver
BTW, good luck with replacing your CLK55. Bet you're sad to see it go. For what it's worth, and if you want stick, i'd go for the RS4. I just don't like the look of the new 3.
