Did it
Thanks guys, took it for a long ride today and liked it very much, did not have any trouble with 6sp. Here in NW PA small towns. Mostly road driving. Not that bad for comfort either I guess. Usually drive a ford HD150 [hard seats] and chevy trailblazer. so not a lot of difference.
Wife liked it also [thats a plus]
Pick it tomorrow, after checks and oil change.
Now the question Ext warrenty $1651 to add 4yr 48000 mile 100 deduct. Nice to have the insurance, worth the $$$$???? Without it, 12month,12000 mile drive train only.
Thanks Roger

Lots of opinions here on the maintenance coverage, but you made a great decision on the car. Terrific to drive. Get a cags eliminator before that stupid things gets you in trouble in traffic. If noise level is to high, you will get help here. Wash, wax and have fun. See Ya Tom

Congratulations but
Performance is not a problem..
SHIFTING can be.
IMO I would have held out for the auto.
Just alot more relaxing to drive in the everyday environment.
The upgraded seats willl help ALOT.
Z06 seats a not fun.

I thought about it for a while, drove both and bought a 6 speed coupe. I like the targa top and tons more trunk space, the seats are nicer but.....I love the stance and attitude of a Z, plus I was not offered a Z at that price either, thats at least $4k less than I could find one for when I was looking a few months ago. Personally, I would go with the Z, but I am a performance freak.
That price is crazy. A low mileage 2001 Z06 would go for about that...
