I drive mines everyday and I love it, if your getting a vette, get the z06 , the stance and presence is much better.
@Zygrene8 жыл бұрын
I agree the Z06 has much more presence than the base C6 but man is the base model a comfy and quiet car.

You're smarter than a lot of young guys out there. You at least know and respect yours. and the cars, limits. I've owned a Z51 2006 Corvette and also driven a Z06 and the Z06 is a different beast altogether. Even with a lot of driving experience I managed to get the Z06 sideways at an intersection just by giving a bit to much throttle...Crazy machine!

If your looking for a vette and aren't sure about buying a base model or Zo6 (might have a little too much for you to handle), then you should buy a Grand sport instead. A GS is the bridge between a base model and a Zo6.. The GS has wider fenders, tires, better suspension, and a dry sump oil system....

How is the ride quality for the C6 Z06? I have heard it is considerably stiffer than even the Z51 in the base Corvette. How much did he end up paying for it? Low mileage clean examples from 2006-2008 seem to be running about 40k. I have heard that the first year of the Z06 (2006) has the highest occurrences of the valve problem the owner was discussing.
@Zygrene9 жыл бұрын
+victor bozzo As I mentioned in the video, the Z06 suspension is noticeably firmer and less compliant over bumps vs the base C6. The car was right around 40k if I'm not mistaken, hence the comparison I made to an older Viper for the same money.

I really feel bad for people that buy Zs, or any American sports car for that matter, new. The depreciation on these cars is just insane. I believe C6Zs shipped out new in the 70s and 80s? But now you can have a clean one with relatively low miles for 35k. It's bad for the guy who buys one new with plans to trade up in a few years but man is it great for the working class man that wants to buy an insanely quick car lol.
