Default C5 Z06 has a new garage mate.

I picked up a 2008 Z06 3LZ on Thursday. All stock with 25,000 miles. My C5 Z06 is also black..should look good together.

Very nice ride you bought. It would be tough for me to decide which one to drive.

I agree, best of both worlds. Very nice C6Z and I really like the tinted headlights.

Can you give an honest comparison? I am really thinking of selling my c5z to upgrade to a c6z.

It's funny, when I test drove it I thought wow this feels a lot like my C5Z...until I hit the gas. Man that 427 pulls..like nothing I've ever felt.

Dang, you living right! A C5 and a C6 Z06, and they are the best color, too. Love my black Z. What else can you tell us about the C6 Z06 to differentiate it from the C5?
