one thing about the z06 - it should be regulated by the DEA. once you drive one, you're hooked. hard to get that monkey off your back!

Buying one without driving one and importing it several thousand miles to the UK, sight unseen, no regrets. Seriously quick.

Hey LuS1fer, how's the Z thought of "across the pond?" Is it American rubish, or an import exotic?

Went from 93 A4 to the Z06. Didn't test drive it because I knew I had to have it. I also knew the owners and history of the car so it wasn't hard to make the decision. Never a regret, just permagrin.
