Z06 prices
What prices have you seen lately for a 01-02 Z06 with either high or low miles. They seem to be all over the place here in Chicago. wondering if its wort it to fly out and bring one back home. I have less than 25k to spend should I wait till winter and start looking hard core. I want any color except yellow. would love a 02 QS with red and black leather seats.
post up what you have seen lately. The z06 and regular C5 prices have caught up now, why would anyone want a regular C5 when a zo6 is with in a few grand? guess some people dont like the FRC, I my self would love to have a removalbe roof for the summer wish the zo6 had that option.

Heres one reason why.......many Vette owners or potential Vette owners do not want a Corvette that you cannot take the top off of. It gives the "closed in feeling" . We need to have the open air running all over and throughout the inside and not be cooped up all of the time. Also, lots of us do not need to go faster than a stock Corvette will go...in speed or acceleration. Many of us are content with a Corvette because of the looks and stock power that they came with originally...

The fact that you can do this to a convertible, and an automatic transmissioned car made this my chosen path.
--to anyone with a disparaging comment regarding automatic transmissions: jet fighter planes don't need to shift a transmission and row a clutch, neither do I... not that I wouldn't like a 6 speed, but an auto is just fine for my only vette.
