Any Z06's in London, England?
I just sold my Z to a buyer in London. He says he's never even seen one. Are there any there?

I dont know. I am moving to Germany in 2 months. Spent the past 5 1/2 years in Germany, and I NEVER seen a ZO6 in Germany or anywhere else in Europe. I am sure there are some, but for a European, a ZO6 is like a Lamborgini or McClaren is to us. Rare.

I live in Wales which is the western part of the UK and I imported my EB Z06 last year. My friend followed suit and imported a TR Z06. Now we're told that there is a new member coming next week and he has a TR Z06, a Hummer, a 2005 Mustang and a C6 on the way.
So the single most popular car in out club is now the Z06!!!
The Z06 is less common generally as it was never sold in Europe and I've never seen one until I imported mine. they're like buses - nothing for ages then 3 come along at the same time. LOL.

"...Z18 is made just for Europe...only about 150 will be produced. The Z18 is actually an interesting mixture of U.S. Commemorative Editon coupe (Z15) and Z06 (Z16) specs. With Le Mans Blue Metallic paint and stripes that mimic this year's C5-R race cars, its outward appearance is similar to the American Commemorative Edition coupe. But the hood panel is carbon fiber like on the Z06, and inside are Z06 seats uniquely embroidered with C5 logos. A standard LS1 engine delivers 350hp through a manual six-speed transmission. For enthusiastic drivers, the greatest benefit of this low-volume collectable is its handling. The Z18 also sports Z06 brake calipers, Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires and an upgraded suspension (a modified FE4 system) that was developed on the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany."
