Why are there so many Z-06's for sale lately? It can't be for lack of performance.

If you look at the for sale section they are loaded.

People go through changes and I'd guess C5 Z06 owners may be looking at C6s and C6 Zs. OR, just looking to get some money and do something else.

Momentary lack of reason.

I had mine for sale too not too long ago too, but changed my mind when I came to my senses.

At a time in my life I used to change rides every two years. Going to keep this one for a while this time.

My golden retriever always travels with me, that's why l only drive coupes.

Even though the C6 has 400hp it's still slower then the Z-06.

I dont know, but I took advantage....was gonna wait another few months, but figured prices wouldnt be as soft with spring in a few months. Got a mint, 2003 EB Z06 with 16,000 miles on it for 35,000 from Corvette Palace in Austin

I've noticed a lot of C5's for sale lately. I'm guessing most people are just trading up. I wouldn't be surprised if some people go to Dodge if and when the Challenger comes out. Or the Camaro for that matter.

People want new... I've had my Z for 3 years now... I've considered a white/red C6 coupe for a change. I had a mustang vert before the Z06 and am itching for open air again. However I simply remind myself that I got the car for HPDE's and it's my first vette! I won't sell this one, I'll just add.

You graduate from Camaro to a Z06 not Z06 to Camaro. IMO
