Questions About A Test Drive
Today I test drove a 2001 Z06 for the first time. It was much quicker than I thought it would be. I am hooked big time. It was quite an experience. If driving a Zo6 won't put a big smile on your face I do not think anything with four wheels will Two questions.
Question One: Is $31,500 a fair price for a 2001 Z06 with 20,000 miles? It has two pea sized stone chips on the front. It has not been pampered but looks pretty good inside and out. Tires are about gone. I ran great and reved quickly to 5500 rpm in the first three gears.
Second question: The gears seemed to have a strange sound until it warmed up. Is that normal?
Thanks for any help or tips,
:cheers:

Look at other cars before buying this one you speak of, unless you want a white Z06.
2002 had improvements made. You may want to consider getting a 2002. You can find really good deals.
Good luck!

I had a car where the tranny made noise like that.
Sounded like a race car. Broke soon afterwards. :nonod:
I would move along and keep looking.
