mods, please make this a sticky.
along with this we can add:

Q: What tires should I buy for my Z06?
A: Black and Round ones will work. Be specific in your use of the car and do some homework. There really aren't that many choices...

Q: Which headers should I buy?
A: Whichever ones the 3rd person who answers says. It won't make much difference how you choose them anyway.

Q: Which exhaust should I get?
A: See above on the header question.

Q: How much is my car worth?
A: Whatever the market will bare or you will take.

Q: My wheels get dirty fast and my tires wear uneven. What should I do?
A: Get rid of it and get a C5 coupe.

there are several more ad nauseum questions that have only been asked about 32,767 times by people who were too lazy to scroll down the page to see the one posted by the last lazy person who didn't bother to do 5 minutes of research or read the stickies...

and yeah i'm having a bad day. sorry.

Read the sticky at the top of this section. Most haven't. It answers many basic question on the Z06. Read that last month or so worth of threads. Someone else probably asked those same questions, for the umpteenth time again...

Search, as in any forum. The search function on here isn't great but it doesn't suck that bad.
