it's just nice to read feedback from someone able to access both cars at the same time.

the comparison is more valid because both are fresh in the mind. i'd agree about the exhaust note. in general, compared with the rip-snorting overrun prone exhaust of the c5z06, i find the GM smallblock OEM exhaust note to be completely underwhelming.

esp compared to how Ford tunes its V8 sound.
