Common C6 Problems
I had an 04 Z06, which met an untimely end. I was planning to get either a C6 Z51 MN6 coupe or a used 03 or 04 Z06 with the idea of having a car I drive on the street but take to the road course 5 or 6 times each year.
With that in mind, what are the common problems with the C6 that you guys have been experiencing? Have any of you guys tracked a C6 and if so what are your impressions? As I will be ordering a new car, I will not be taking from dealer stock so the harmonic balancer bolt problem should not be an issue.
Thanks for your help.

Go for it!
The major consideration for you from your description of use is to find wheels and tires to take to the track with you. I've seen many guys wanting to go with 18" wheels all around for their track tires because of availability of proper sized rolling stock. The 18"-19" combination makes that a little rough.
