I must have a Z06 ...
This picture pushed me over the edge. I'll be adding a Z06 just like this to the stable as soon as I can ....

Good for you... I am not fan of the C6, and I think the Z06 looks even worse than the standard C6 (looks like GM made a bunch of after thought add ons and air scoops that make the car look worse overall than the original). But if all you want is a speed rocket, the Z06 is a good car. Should be nice with a 1000 HP+ twin turbo charged engine

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

The 1000 Twin Turbo option will stay with my Viper I think the Z06 will get only minor mods ... black wheels are a must.

Its a nice car, I am not doubting that, just not my cup of tea... seriously though, it is the BEST car for its purpose, which is being fast as the devil at a relativly inexpensive price... and if you like how it looks, than you would be stupid not to buy it. Enjoy!!! But be carefull with the Vette dealers

It's all good. I have purchased 3 C5 Vettes and very well aware of the "Vette dealers". One of my former Marine Corps buddies is the new car manager of a local dealership ... he'll get me hooked up.

Sometime in the early fall. Maybe late summer but no one knows for sure right now. It gives me time to finish the mods on the Porsche and Viper ... once the Z06 is on board I can start working on something Italian to complete the collection, for awhile

I agree 100% that rear scoops are the only flaw from a visual standpoint. Look very tack-on.

congrats NoMercy, the car does appear to be a real monster.

"I think the Z06 will get only minor mods" - with your history are you sure about that
