Default Back in a Z06!
I picked up a Black 2004 Z06 yesterday. It is my 5th Z06 I have owned and 6th Vette total. Two 03's, an 04 and an 07 Z, plus this new 04. I also had an 08 Z51. I traded in my 08 Z51 last april, and have been wanting to get back into a Z06 ever since. I forgot how loud Z06's are. I also forgot how stiff the ride was, and how on less than perfect roads, the front end hunts. I love every bit of it. In my opinion, the C5 Z06 is the best Vette ever built.

I will post some pics soon. But, it is just your garden variety Black Z06. No mods yet, and I always do some sort of mods to my cars, I just dont know which direction I am going yet.

I often ask myself that same question. I plan on keeping this one for awhile. Unless Chevy makes a fixed roof coupe when the C7's come out, I am not buying a new one.
