If you go C6, go Z06 or ZL1. My buddy has a Z06 and that car is a blast. I do not think there is a better looking modern corvette. It has monstrous power stock. The LS7 motor sounds amazing. It has an active exhaust (can be put on a wireless switch for $15) which will let you open it up and roar or keep it closed and whisper. They have some issues with their valve train you may want to consider as part of the ownership of one if you indeed buy one.
Would I trade my M3 for one? No, but I would consider having one in addition to it...if my wallet allowed... |

Thanks for everyone for their input. For some reason, I wasn't getting the notices of replies on here (might have accidentally unsubscribed). Anyway, I've kind of cooled off on my urge just yet; I'm thinking this might be a year or two down the road purchase. In the mean time, I also began looking at the c5 z06 which are a great deal now (late teens to low 20s in some cases), which where I want to be in terms of budget. The c6 z06 appear to still require premium money 30k+. But I'll likely test drive all of them by the time I'm done. The big news though is I got to drive my buddies 2016 or 17 z06 (only has 1000 miles)... wow 650 HP I believe.. Thing was a monster, tight, sporty, and just flat out blast...it did feel like too much power for the street...I could almost drive the car in 1st gear the whole time in the city and go in second car for about a second. This car is definitely in my future but probably more like the 5-10 year plan lol.... I am gonna get a vet as I gotta scratch this American muscle itch.... the question is when and which as there are a lot of choices and price ranges...if anyone knows where I can rent a c6 z06 in New England, please let me know.

My biggest fear with a C5, even one that was babied, is that it's nearly a 20-year-old car. Things wear out with age, even if the car wasn't driven much. Even though they're cheap, it could turn into a real money pit. The motor will be solid, but it's everything else that worries me. The C6 Z06 is holding its value because of a small group of purists. They think the new Z06 with its radical styling, supercharged motor, and insane power is just not what the Corvette is all about. That's fine, and to each his own, but it'll keep the prices inflated. I think the Grand Sport is still a solid choice in the C6 realm.
