I owned a 2006 Z06 from new for about 3 years.
It is without a doubt a supercar. The car is amazing! A 7.0 liter engine reving to 7,000rpm. I put a Corsa exhaust on, a Callaway CAI and shifter and that was it. I had velocity yellow with comp gray wheels, 1LZ package so it was really stripped down with no nav or side airbags in the seats.

Yes, they are very twitchy when driven at 9/10s, but I've read quite a bit about changing the tires to Michelin PSS and alignment will help massively.

I installed Sparco racing seats in my BMW. I would highly suggest the same in the Corvette. It is amazing the difference in how the car feels and the ability to drive the car hard without worrying about sliding around. You could get the Sparco Chrono and they still have a recline function so they'll be more comfortable than a full race bucket. They're only $500 each, so you'd be able to install both seats with sliders and mounts for under $1500.

For all those who complain about the interior materials - just take them for a ride. They won't even notice the interior.

Yes, they are a performance bargain. 3,130lbs and over 500hp! Just a couple upgrades and it'll be an absolute blast!
