Own a 09 blade silver c6z for 5 years now. 58k miles. Just an amazing car. Very unique experience driving this beast compared to new high hp, high tech cars. That raw feeling can't be replaced.
@ssoffshore51113 жыл бұрын
Same, but black 08 with silver C7Z wheels, it's my DD. It still makes driving an absolute blast. Thought about getting a new C8Z to replace it, but after seeing the new GM pics of it, I don't think I'll be doing that. Besides, I'm still VERY happy with my C6Z. Might do a H/C package and lighting mods to make it harder for myself to replace it...

Welp...Mine is a 2013 and has 100Kmiles.. And, it looks about as good as those low mileage examples. In fact, I'm told my car looks new and people are pretty shocked to hear of it's mileage. These cars are very reliable and robust. And fast has hell. Just be careful if the car was made in the 2008-2010 range. Linimar Manufacturing of Ontario didn't machine the valve guides concentrically during that time. In Feb of 2011, GM asked them to do a 100% quality control inspection. So I'd recommend either earlier or later than that range. Otherwise, it'll easily run away and from WRX STIs and Caymens and Boxsters in both a straight line AND in the twisties....No prob!!

Have to be darn careful when buying a car like the 2006 Z06. I work in a steel mill related industry. When our belts and hoses reach the 10 year mark we schedule to replace. Even when not used the rubber compounds break down. Expect issues with belts and hoses. Our electronics ( robotics ) hit the 7-10 year old mark we have random issues and sometimes catastrophic issues. Also things like the thermostat are likely to fail / stick.

I've had my DD C6Z for years now, everything on it (hoses, belts, stat, wires, plugs, etc) is factory and I've never had a single issue with anything.
