I've heard so much of this Z06, can someone please explain what is so great about them? Do they handle well?

In fact, the Z06 beat the NEW Dodge Viper around the Streets of Willow Springs.

Depends on "how" in that respect. In a straight line, the 2002+ (405hp) Z06 will barely pull away from a 996 TT...perhaps 1-2mph faster, but nothing more than that.
It is light (just under 3100lbs), great hp (405), incredible suspension, and good gearing. The car is nothing to scoff at one bit.

It is, in fact, true. However, the gearing of the TT will shine above 160+mph.
My friend has a bone stock, 2003 Z06. We have done multiple punches (stock vs stock) from 40-150+mph with him barely pulling on me each time. Perhaps a few feet. My car has Bailey diverter valves, so I know that I am holding full, stock boost.
The 405hp Z06 will run the 1/4 mile with a trap speed of 115-117mph. The 996 TT will trap in the 114-116mph range. There is "some" overlap, of course, but typically the Z06 will hold off the TT until it hits its 171-173mph top speed (gearing and aerodynamics issue). At around 150+mph, the TT will begin to pull the Z06.

Interesting... my experience has been the opposite almost exactly. We've done 30 mph and 60 mph and each time I pulled away slightly.
