Around the track yes! Straight line mostly likely not! Same hp with the bigger rim's and tires create more drag.

You will have the best selection in the model years 2006-2008, followed by 2009. Then production numbers drop drastically subsequent years....
2010=518
2011=904
2012=478
So in terms of numbers, you will find it much more difficult to get a good selection in 2010 model year, a lil better in '11, and worse in '12.
Good Luck

That's what I was trying to get from FRDnemesis. The GVWR is the max weight of the car including the car with full liquids, and cargo including a driver and passenger. You take the GVWR and subtract the max cargo(that includes driver/passenger) and you have the weight of the vehicle. My car weighs 1 lb more then yours with a GVWR of 3651. I have chrome wheels, do you?

Yes, remember back when I said it came with the "original" chrome Z06 wheels....and you went back and found there were indeed 84 sets (the last of) on 2010 Z's....

as someone who's plannin to buy a Z06 and been researching. i would say 08-09 seem to be the best buys right now. the older ones aren't much cheaper and these have the mech upgrades and sometimes less miles.
