My Camaro has been a body shop for two weeks getting the top painted under warranty. It's a hardtop and this is the second time. I shouldn't have told them I was in no hurry. Anyway, I was griping about it during lunch at a "Street Survival" school I was helping with. Another club member overheard me and offered me a ride in his '02 Z06. WOW. I'm just kicking the idea around right now, but is there a year to stay away from? Any preferred years? Is a Z06 that much better than a standard Corvette? Just wondering!

Sorry for the confusion, Yes the calipers on the c6 ZO6 are not the same as the Z51. The Z51 rotors are the larger dia, and also cross drilled. Sorry about the chassis information too, I may have heard it from a reference to extra bracing for the Convertibles that the ZO6 shares. But I don't know if it's accurate. Something I came accross while looking up info on the Corvette Forum. I just got the car, I havn't been under it yet to check it out (can get my wife out of it long enough!)
Sorry, My bad, trying to post and work at the same time. Brain's not working clearly right now. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) No worries, I was just trying to set the record straight. Any 'vette is a great AutoX/track car, that is for sure. A clean, totally stock, '02 Z06 in the low, low 20s HAS to be the best deal going for a sports car. You just can't beat it... nearly super-car performance with Honda Accord pricing. -TJ |
