I've bought and sold several cars in the past few years. I've ALWAYS used autotrader.com. It's a lot nicer of a website than cars.com. The information is a lot better laid out and it's easier to find things. Goodluck man and what a transition. Evo's are beasts in their own right. But it doesn't compare to the instant torque and light weight handling of the z06!

The evo and Z are two totally diff beast.
The Z and evo will run similar times around a road course w/ equal drivers.
but they just handle diff...diff feel. AWD vs. RWD
you WILL NOT be dissapointed with the Z I promise
plus...evo's don't run 11's stock
Z's do...I ran 11.96 @ 118 in mine after having it for a couple weeks
btw this is what keeps my Z company at night!

I bought my Z06 and never looked back. It's a great car with just enough power to run in the 11's from the factory, with an experienced driver of course. Like I said, with "just enough power"....

I owned both and driven both pretty hard, the Evo ALWAYS makes you feel in control and therefor gives you some added confidence. The Z's steering does not feel as good or quick as the Evo's but it will at least match the Evos handling. The biggest difference is that at higher speeds the Corvette is a rock solid performer and the Evo shows its true roots as a hopped up grocery getter that just was not engineered from the ground up to be a sports car.

believe ME when I tell you that you won't be dissappointed with the power and the steering. I took an evo on the freeway by 6 cars...
I'd say your best bet is auto trader..and craigslist...usedcars.com..and autos.com
