NICE! By the way it sounds I'd be making a big mistake if I test drove a Corvette, lol. I'll stay away from those for the next 10 years.

You've got very good taste! Your car looks really really similar to our C6Z!

Let us know if you want to make it FAST.

You got a good deal. After shopping around for Bonnies til we found it, and knowing the prices, you got a deal. She got the base model and to be honest, I was nervous that if we found a Z-06 that we were willing to pay for, I might end up the same. lol

Oh.... I know the Camaro kicked up a lot of road grime on the back end but the C6 Vettes are like a magnet for dust and road grime to accumulate on the rear. lol

do it!!! dont look back...this car is amazing!!

the z06 drives so much better than my camaro did, the shifter is perfect, the clutch is nice and not too hard and the accelration over 3500 rpm is breathtaking.

dont get me wrong though I loved my supercharged camaro and i think its one of the best looking musclecars out there. i wish i caould keep both, but the z06 has been the car of my dreams and the deal was too good to pass up.

first night driving her home it rained and the back was filthy

and black is a bitch to keep clean, but it sure looks nice when it's clean.

Pads, and if you're going to be spending a ton of time on track calipers as well. Sway bars will make a big improvement, and shocks will make a big difference also. The Z06 shocks are valved really aggressively in high speed rebound, which can make the car feel skiddish on track.

If your spending a ton of time on track with race tires you may want to look at a camber kit as well... the camber kits for C5/C6's are less about extra adjustability and more about eliminating the factory alignment eccentric bolts which have a tendency to slip with track use and race tires.

You've got a fantastic car there, the Z06 is no joke in the right hands!
