'02-'04 Z06 Corvette Wanted

**Zedder** · #1 10-11-2004, 06:43 PM

After seeing the C6 in person and driving the car, we have cancelled our order and would like to find another MINT, LOW MILE '02 - '04 Z06. Any leads would be appreciated

The C6 is a very nice car, but as an exec at GM drivetrain described it to me this weekend, "It is so refined now that it has lost all of it's character and has really become a woman's car". Don't flame me ladies, these are his words! He is bang on with his comments. The car is so quiet, rides so nice, handles so well...that you don't even know you are in a performance car. I also don't care for the exposed headlights and sloped rear glass. I sold my '02 Z06 in anticipation of the C6, but now really regret doing so. The Z06 is a really fun car to drive that sounds amazing for a new car (without mods) and it is a super value. The new Z06 is being revealled in January with 500 hp and the same basic body styling. It is rumored that it will list in excess of $70K US.

Knowing the way Clill goes through cars, I doubt he still has his...but that would have been perfect!

Thanks Mosport, but it has to be a Z06!

I have an 02 for sale,but it's a T1(SCCA)prepped car. Would consider collector car trades.

The woods are full of them,try here-

Zedder what was your own impression of he car ?? Was it quick ? Refinement is not a bad thing

Belair, It is a very nice car, but more refined than I like to be honest. Now remember that I am used to a Z06, with its extremely cool exhaust note. The C6 is so quiet that even my wife complained about it. If you get on it, it does sound much better. But at idle, you hardly know it is running.

Yes, it is definitely quick and handles very well. The best 1/4 times I have heard so far is 12.7 sec by one of the magazine drivers. Super seats, and a number of neat interior functions like push button start etc. Cosmetically, I like the wheels and overall dimensions, but I dislike the chopped off rear end and sloping glass. I am getting used to the front end, but prefer pop-up headlights. Finally, I just haven't gotten used to the wheels being pushed out to the corners with very small overhangs like a BMW or Porcshe. I'm sure it will grow on me more, but I don't like it enough right now to buy one. My guess is that many others feel the same way as many dealers have them in stock and the discounts are already happening.

When we were at Carlisle we got to see a C6 and C5 side-by-side, and my wife and I both agreed that we liked the C5's looks better.

Now, a C6 with Z51 makes for a very nice car and probably is better than a Z06 for frequent driving, but I only use my car occasionally, so I like the more aggessive nature of the Z06.
