Default should I get a zo6 ???
I found a 02 zo6, 8800mi, asking 35k. It has 04 z06 polished wheels. I hadn't planed on getting a z06 but this car does look sharp. I know 02 was the first year for the 405hp motor, what else does the z06 package get me? Is there any reason not to get one,problems,anything that I should look for? Is it worth the extra $$$. Thanks for helping out the knew guy!

You should get it...the FRC body style is awesome and the Z will give you a perma-grin everytime you drive it...its been almost a year that i have had mine and it still makes me smile!

As long as you don't mind not being able to take the top off, I say go for it.

I bought my 02 vert with 4000 miles on it last year and spent 35k. It seems like a fairly reasonable deal depending on condition.

If you can get them down a bit on the price, go for it. The Z06 is one awesome car - someday I hope to have one.
