Default Magazine Article Comparing Different C5 Suspensions?

Years ago either Car & Driver, Motor Trend, or Road & Track published an article that compared the handling traits between the base, ZO6, and magnetic shocks of the C5. One of the interesting things they did was to put the ZO6 wheels/tires on the other two Corvettes to see how much of the handling was simply the rubber and not the springs/shocks/swaybar setup.

Does anyone have a copy of this article or know where I can find it?

Thanks,
