Photoguy, you did not read my earlier post with the history of the on oil consumption issues. Be educated BEFORE you buy. Don't just listen to the hype , myths or misinformation. Answer; NO , not all, not even a small percentage had anymore oil consumption than other LS6 had if you count the variables but do your homework!!
Read the recall I've linked in the earlier post , here it is again , but remember the story is much , much deeperhttp://www.rjsmith.com/gm-894549.html
This '01 was produced on April 30th 2001* which also means that the engine has the newer designed pistons (cold start piston slap issue) which was on the line with the LS6 in mid -April. .......* the production time line according to the VIN is an approx. date

There's another post (on the 3rd page) where somebody says "dont spend over 20k"
He paid fair money (good deal) for a nice low mile '01 Zo6.
To photoguy- Welcome to the club! Save the wave.

I love how some of the guys in here saying they cant notice a difference with the 20hp more 02 Z06 are the same guys who post up and say they notice a seat of the pants difference from a CAI or a catback. Because its a lot easier to notice 2hp then it is to notice 20hp lol. Get whichever car you want. I would rather have a newer car for the same price which will also be easier to sell later on then the 01 just because of all the 01 haters. Plus is comes with an extra 20hp and HUD. If you plan on doing heads and cam then no biggie but for someone looking for bolt ons only 02+ are great.

Factory Speedlines chrome by www.calchrome.com (done by the previous owner)
Beware of chrome reproductions, they can be heavy. I think a vendor sells chrome oem on exchange, not sure who though.
