Well I finally got to drive dads z06. All I have to say is wow. And the Borla Stingers make it sound nice. Anyway the car is badass and the heads up display is such a nice touch. You never have to look down at a gauge.


Well heres a pic of the car for those who havent seen it.

 

Lightning looks better

 

Z06 THIS!

 

 

I gotta admit that is pretty dog gone cool! You and your dad both having nice rides. Ever race each other?

WOT

 

no not yet but right now I would probably loose. Unless he screws up shifting . NOt for long though

 

matching colors none the less...I would be racing my old man every chance I got if he had a Z06...

anyone notice how those things are everywhere now? I thought the regular vettes were common, but now I see at least 5-6 Z06s every week...

 

I loved the Z06's for a while, then I started seeing them more then normal Vette's. Now I'm not impressed

 

I'd trade my Lightning in a second for a Z06.

I see more Lightnings on the street than Z06s, they are faster and handle better. Truly an affordable sports car in its finest sense.

 

You have some nice rides in your family. I'm thinking of adding a Z06 to my garage one day. Probably wait until the C6s come out.

As for how many Z06s there are on the road now...

2001 - 5773 Z06s were made (16% of total C5 production)
2002 - 8297 Z06s were made (22% of total C5 production)

Add in how ever many are made so far this year and you get a good amount of Z06s. Far from what I would call mass produced common car though.

 

Just the opposite around here.......Z06's everywhere, and the only time I see a Lightning is when we have a meet........speaking off????????????????????

But if someone would give me a Z06, i'd take it in a ..............heartbeat

 

I don't think I'll ever get rid of my Lightning, but if I could afford to have both, then a Z06 would be a nice "beater" to keep the L from piling up too many miles, hehehe, John H.

 

I agree Gator, I see Z06's everywhere around where I live and only ever see 2 other Lightning's

 

Thing is, out of the tons of them I see every day, none of them have ever been driving even close to fast, seems like a waste to me. Not that speeding in traffic is a good thing, but its not like I see them at the track very often, so wtf do they have them for?
