July 29, 200718 yr I'll be down to have sex with it tomorrow.Almost bought one (red with a black top) when I was on vacation but quickly realized I have no use for it until I get rid of some of this other Chevy junk.
July 29, 200718 yr Author Admin Unreal engine, but the rest of the car was questionable at best. The build quality and materials used were a little disappointing for a 2007 car and one that is supposed to be the pinnacle car for the biggest car company in the world.

Isn't that like most Vette's for the last 40 years?

Between friends and the current owner of this Z06, I have been in almost every model. Just still a little surprising for a car in the 70k mark.
August 1, 200718 yr Yeah, I guess. There were a few from time to time that were not too bad. Between friends and the current owner of this Z06, I have been in almost every model. Just still a little surprising for a car in the 70k mark.You're right - you would have thought they would have kept the plastic/flimsy stuff in the 4th gen f-body rides.
August 1, 200718 yr They don't make a single car without the plastic flimsy stuff. My truck is pathetic.
August 1, 200718 yr They don't make a single car without the plastic flimsy stuff. My truck is pathetic.Isn't any plastic in one of my cars...
August 2, 200718 yr There's plastic ion every car ever produced. GM however, seems to really love stuff. I swear, if they could make EVERY single part from plastic, they would. That would be a trip. The Z06 is a stellar performer, and I really hate it when people compare it to a Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, etc. It's still ONLY a Vette no matter how you look at it.
August 2, 200718 yr They don't make a single car without the plastic flimsy stuff. My truck is pathetic.Isn't any plastic in one of my cars... Do you not own the impala in your sig?

August 2, 200718 yr Very nice, but all I want are the wheels for my Typhoon, lol.you have a Typhoon? very cool dude, pics?
August 2, 200718 yr I will as of tomarrow. I'm selling my bagged blazer, to make for the cost, lol. It's all black on black. I'll start a thread when I get it. I don't want to high jack this one, lol.
September 6, 200718 yr I would have sex with that Z06... and does the grand sport has the DOHC motor like the ZR1? Love the ZR-1s heheheh. I thought the ZO6 was supposed to have pretty good handling and a completely different frame compared to the base corvette?

I thought the ZO6 was supposed to have pretty good handling and a completely different frame compared to the base corvette?The 96 GS came with the LT4 which was optional that year on ALL production Vettes, although standard on the GS. All Vette's share a common frame.
September 7, 200718 yr i could have sworn reading about the new zo6 having a completely different lightweight frams from the base model... time to go searching through my sources... lol
September 9, 200718 yr everyone bitches about the plastic, but the car runs with or outperforms cars that cost twice as much. yep, you and your neighbor each own one, but that is the beauty of the car. not everyone can afford the ferrari that the z06 just smashed.but i also agree, they should indeed take some time on the interior and clean it up some. 70k is alot to spend and one should be able to expect more for their money i suppose.i'll still take the z06 over all the other supercars however, as i've got bowtie blood, lol.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Don't know how accurate that is though.

September 10, 200718 yr Author Admin I am not really bitching about it. Just really surprised that since this is the flagship car of the biggest auto maker in the world, the quality would be much better. Believe me, I do not doubt the performance, in forward thrust this is one of the op three cars I have been in. I have not driven it on curvy roads yet to push the handling. Maybe if they spent some of that monstrous, constantly in your face add budget on fit and finish and materials, things would be different.
