Agree with gthal. The interior on this one doesn't look too bad in that picture, JMO.

Thought the same thing. If the negotiations are not over in 5 minutes, it's a no sale. Regardless, never been a 'vette fan, but those pics make it look pretty good. I'm sure it would be a fun car to have around. |

OP, i'd recommend you do this...find a mint 2009+ Z06 right around 50k(i bought my 2009 with 2700 miles fro $50k)
Dump $10k into Caravaggio interior and you'll end something similar to this... Anyways, i picked my Z06 over an E92 M3 back in January. I test drove 7 E92 M3s and none satisfied my needs. I came over from a 300whp E46 M3 and found E92 to be fairly slow. Here is how my car looks now and come winter time im doing interior..

I thought really hard about getting into a ZO6. In the end I didn't because I figured it is not a good car to have as an only car (and I cannot have more than a single car at this point in time).
As a second or third car? It's a must have! I check them out at the track and the last time I was out there was an Inferno orange centennial edition and wow it is just straight up gorgeous inside and out IMHO. The ZO6 is in a complete different league in terms of performance. Makes an M3 feel like a 325i. The LS7 is ridiculous... titanium rods, forged crank, titanium and sodium filled valves, dry sump. The engine is mounted in a magnesium cradle. The chassis is hydroformed aluminum and the fenders are made of carbon fiber. It's an engineering marvel and a no compromise sports car. Meanwhile on BMW forums, so-called driving enthusiasts find nothing else to do but b*tch about the crappy interior. Gets me everytime. |

When that's the only area (other than a back seat and better DD practicality) where the BMW is better, you kind of have to take the "crap on the Vette's interior" approach.

Cool! Sick car... One of the cleanest ZO6's I have seen in a while.

I also don't get it when guys compare the ZO6's interior to our M3's interior. I have to agree that German over American when it comes to interior build and quality BUT still, some (Take note when I said some), but not all BMW enthusiasts ALWAYS compare the ZO6 interior to the M3's interior, mentioning every single fucking time that the M3's interior is superior in every way possible. YES, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT! I kept on reading the same shit over and over about how nice the M3's interior is compared to the ZO6. It's like a stupid cycle that goes on and on. If you don't like the interior, don't buy a ZO6. OR if you like the ZO6's performance, but hate the interior then there's always caravaggio to make it look right. *End Rant* Anyway, as a second vehicle, I would be happy if I had a ZO6 in my garage. I don't care about it's interior when performance is top notch.

OP the C6 Z06 is a monster, and the LS7 is a very violent motor! I had an 04 C5 Z06 with 540whp that was LPE Supercharged, then a 08 C6 with Cam and headers, and coilovers, and aftermarket clutch. Also ended up test driving a C6 Z06 brand new back in 2010 before settling on a modified C6 1LZ. Needless to say I needed change, and I am completely happy with what the M3 is offering, plus It was good to change. The thing I miss the the Vettes are the grunt and power of the LSX motors and the raw chassis feeling..Also prefer the C5 Z over the C6 Z because it has a more raw and aggressive feeling sort of like when the E46 M3 is compared to the E92 M3. I think you made a good decision by not trading up to a C6 Z even if its the best a C6 Z06 can get with the Centennial Edition, as others have said I would opt for a P-Car if I could afford a sports car in the 90k range...

Back to the Z06, its a monster. Got to respect its performance. LOL at the M3 folks bitching about the interior. Its the same defense every time "crappy" cars like the GT-R, GT500, ZL1...etc are being compared to the M3. It's getting old folks. I know! ...let's bitch about the crappy stereo that these cars have compare to our awesome Premium sound system =) Last edited by WRXXX; 07-07-2012 at 01:57 PM.. |
