the C6 Z they look pretty mean going down the street. If I could afford it I know the decision I would go. Just have to wait a few years and pic up one some else decides they can't afford : The Yellow one was actually in back of me duing the cruise to Hell and it was hard to keep from looking at it. Sorry I didn't get any pics from this point of view.

Great picks, They kept the same La Mans blue as my CE, not happy! So much for original. Both are Great cars, but for a tenth of a second stock time faster, I'll stay with my C5.

Good pic. OK, so how much bragging did the C6 guy do.

The owner of the Black Z06 was RandyVettes from this forum, and it's not his style to brag. He was just the same guy with a new car, heck, he doesn't even smile that much. (I would have a permagrin with a new car like that for at least a month)

I have an 04'Z, a C6 and recently drove an 06'Z. I'll keep all my Vettes because I love them like children but make no mistake, the new Z is a real big leap forward. High speed stability is amazing, it soaks up road irregularities much better with no bump steer that seems to be common with the C5 Zs.
