Just wanted to start a thread that actually involves talk about a C5 Z06. And not selling anything. Just wanted to say I still love my C5 Z06!

Fairly recent pic of my Z06

That is a really sweet picture! I've driven mine for almost 2 years, and it never gets old. Love Torch Red, thinking the next step is a set of black wheels, and a new cat back.

Nice car dude. Looks really good. I feel the same way about mine. Never gets old. Love driving my Z every time I get in it. It's a blast. No desire to move up.

Such a fun driver's car for sure. My two 'fun' cars are a SW Z, and a twin turbo Cobra. I go back and forth driving those on nice days, and when I drive the Z, I just notice everything seems to be in the right place. The shifter in relation to the steering wheel, the height the console is in relation to where your hand goes (with a C6Z shifter), to how the car feels overall...it's just a pleasant experience and I love the car.

Besides, it would just be scary if it made as much power as the Cobra

I love mine to. I actually sold it to friend, regretted it and then bought it back about 10 months later from him. Couldn't be happier. I love this car. Can't say enough good things about it. Just went for a cruise out to red rock canyon.Name:  image.jpeg
