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!

I ran the car at Virginia Motorsports Park. The pavement there is really poor, especially where the pavement is seamed. Those seams have sent me spinning a couple of times. That's one reason I like the Z06 as much as I do. RRC is better, but I haven't driven the Corvette there.

Well in ESP a Camaro can be made a *LOT* better in those situations. A Watts link settles the car down an immense amount over not good (read smooth) pavement. But it's still a solid axle car, and carries less load on the rear than the Vette. Both things are going to make the Vette better.
