^^Ever got a chance to run his Z while it was stock and how was that outcome?

THE-FN-MAN · 12-23-2012, 12:53 AM

I never ran his when it was stock but I ran a guy who took a stock Z06 to his shop and I got him pretty good. We went from a 2nd gear roll till maybe almost half of fourth gear. He was damn impressed he said but now he has a procharger on his car

Nice

I been curious how i'd do against a s/c M myself but cant find one locally to run.

THE-FN-MAN · 12-23-2012, 01:11 AM

Thanks man, it's all in good fun as I love and respect anything fast. I've had a hard on for a z06 for idk how long now but when I was finally able to afford one it was just so unpractical (I was driving all over the country and I needed to be able to pretty much pack my life up in the back of the car and the Vette just didn't have the room and wasn't able to seat more than two) but lord knows I still want to get one. It's hard to go wrong with a small block check, ESP a small block 427!

So I test drove a 2010 Z06 yesterday. Big mistake. Now it's all I can think about. Luckily the dealer is closed on Sundays. Car was an absolute animal.

Exactly what happened to me. Sold my E46 M3, test drove buncha E92 Ms...wasnt happy with the power...then test drove a CTSV and loved it. My brother-in-law begged me to test drive a Z06 and i did and rest is history

Thats all it takes. The car is addicting. With the right tires, its an animal.

My equity was wire transfered friday...after the holidays I start looking again...
Love that there are some diehard M fans here. I loved my ESS M, but it was time to move on to something a little less family friendly, lol. If there was ONE perfect car, we would all own it and nothing else would exist. Cheap interior? Ill take performance over that any day.

I thought that too man..but the thrill didnt last

I had an 03 viper with 500whp 510tq...The performance is fun but at some point you grow tired of the lack of luxury around you. Maybe not so much lack of luxury, more like you grow tired of cheap creeky, rattling plastic.

I know the z06 interior is slightly different, 08+ atleast have some faux CF trim I suppose, coupled with the Nav its better too

Let It Rein · 12-23-2012, 05:26 PM

It will be a purely fun car. No DD, just come for fun, maybe short trips, who knows. You know what, if I hate it, no big deal, just sell it and chalk it up as lesson learned.

You will love it. My interior mods should be done within next 3 weeks and i will shoot you some pics...all under $2k so far.

swanson · 12-23-2012, 07:30 PM

You dont buy a sports or track car for the interior. If its functional and comfortable, thats all that really matters. I dont buy a pure sports car expecting a bentley interior. Besides, the interiors can be easily updated. Check out Caravaggio corvettes.

SpiralOut · 12-23-2012, 08:06 PM

I considered a z06 as well. However i just didn't think i could deal with it as a daily driver. Would be a monster at the track though, my friend has one and it's a beast. Amazing the amount of power and grip the car has.... Amazes me every time i ride with him. I decided to get more a DD friendly car and get the slightly lesser beast, a 2013 m3.

Take it to the track (road course), and it'll be like your first time on the car all over again. You'll remember what it can do.

Let It Rein · 12-24-2012, 12:28 PM

Those interiors are gorgeous...
My shopping is put on hold..still waiting on the wire transfer from those clowns at Toy Barn Cars. Funny, my bank girl tells me its instant. I'm being told it was sent friday and maybe its delayed bc of the holidays...bullshit. I dont like being fucked around. Looks like I may have to write up a little review in the "vendors" section just to let others know of my dealings with them

swanson · 12-24-2012, 03:17 PM

Wait till Wednesday. If nothing by then, call the bank.
