I sold my '01 ZO6 late last year. I missed the car so much over the winter that I bought an '02 last month. I couldn't keep away!! The car reminds me of a woman. LOL

Everytime I go offshore for a month or more as soon as I get back I hop in the car and push it for an hour or two I get that same feeling I did when I first bought it.

I also like the styling of the C5Z06 more than the C6Z06

I know that the C5 Convertible in the picture isn't a Z06, but you can still see the shapes...The C5Z is sleeker and sexier.

I love driving my Z06.

Ever since I installed the Corbeau A4's, and Coil overs its a completely different ride. The change was AMAZING ! I'm never selling my C5 Z06...

Yep....I agree with the others.The Z is a nice (almost) race car with street manners.

We are lucky to have such great machines.I am lucky to have 366 days or 19,020 miles left on my GMPP warranty!!

I just tangled with a $180k sports car on my way home from work last night. He was behind me when it exited.

I totally understand. I am sitting here in Afghanistan missing my car thinking about it all the time. And the sad thing is i have to wait another 8 months to see it again.
