2nd Vette is a ................
I have a new ride. Traded my 1995 for a very low miles 2006 Z.
I was very attached to my '95 but did not have a two Vette option.
Out with red and in with blue.
But hey -- 505 HP is pretty damn fun too.

They both look great.
Although I am partial to your C4 (I have a '95 dark red), I like the blue C6 Z06's and hope to get one some day.
Let us know what you think of your new one once you get some impressions of it.

Nice ride! I bought my '96 C4 from my brother (Dad3sons on here) and he just picked up a C6 vert. Super nice car, tons of go. What I like best about it is getting in and out is a snap. That's the only thing I don't like about the C4. It's like climbing in and out of a bathtub, sideways.
Congrats!

The classic "dynamic duo"...
The TURQ is my wife's Z. She also has a 69 vert. But! When I win the lotto, a C6 Z06 would be my 2nd car dream machine!

Plenty of good memories, lots of fun and would liked to have kept both.
Maybe I will pick up another C4 someday.
I could lay into it and wheel it down the road with a lot of confidence.
So far I have only peeked at about 60% power on my C6Z and working to get a good feel for the awesome power. NICE I TELL YOU.

I also have the Magnaflow's on one of my cars...they sound much better than most will admit, the drone isn't nearly as bad as some make it out to be (now the borla's...they drone with a capital D, but dang they sound so good on my '95)
