I will have to tell this to all the guys out there tracking C6 Z's. That ought to get quite a laugh at the track!

The car is designed to be fast around a racetrack, not for some idiotic 16 year old to impress girls with. They rotate, like any real performance car should.

The way these cars squat and are able to put the power down .....I cant see where there light in the rear ...... even our car transfers nice, and never feels like it's standing on it's nose even under heavy braking.

Given how much better the Z06's suspension is over a Z51 ...plus how much more tire they put down..... I'm sure the Z is a pleasure to push.

Never been a Vette guy, but I would take a ZR1, c6 Z06, and the 08+ with the ls3.

After the Hertz LS3 rental I had in Fl on my last vacation I was coverted into a Vette lover. After driving C5's I never saw anything I liked better about them than my Trans Am but the C6 LS3 was a sweet car especially with that 6spd auto. Just need a stall and cam. My friends have C6Z06's and their nice but a Vette without a Targa just doesn't seem right to me. If I'm paying that kinda money I wanna removable roof for winter time since summer in TX are too hot.
