Owners set the price. I think this is consignment. Anyways this venue CorvetteForum ain’t the place to sell a great car like this with all the cheapskates and tire kickers.

I believe you may be right Mr. Gizmo considering there are over 10,000 views for this listing and it's still for sale. People appear to want to spend the same money or more on examples with modifications and thousands of more miles (and potential abuse), or expect me to dump this car for next to nothing as far as price goes. Not going to happen.

After dealing with numerous spammers and scammers on Craigslist and a couple of more on Cars.com and CarGurus, I thought that this venue might actually have someone knowledgeable enough to know exactly what this Z06 brings to the table, literal perfection. I appreciate the support. Have a great weekend.

Default Beautiful Car

WOW what a beauty. My question is how does she run?? More specifically do the G Forces in 1st, 2nd and 3rd keep you pinned into the back of your set? Is this car scary fast? The reason I am asking is that I had a 06 Z06 and now an 07 and there is a night and day difference. Also I have now driven other 06's and none are as fast as mine was. So I am very interested if this car runs like my old one did. Thanks so much and appreciate your feedback. PS what kind of tires are on this car now and in what shape are they in?

Runs like a brand new Z06 should, as I have owned two, this 2006 and a 2008. Unfortunately, I don't drive my cars like I stole them, so I won't even attempt to answer the questions about G-forces or it being scary fast. It is extremely potent, as was my 2008, and I will leave it at that. As stated in an earlier post, the tires are brand new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. If interested in purchasing the car, let me know. Thanks.

Happy Veterans Day

Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. Your commitment, courage and sacrifices are much appreciated. My father served in the Army and since his passing almost seven years ago, I never forget to say thank you on this day (or any other day for that matter).

God Bless

c6gs is not the same. The (corrected) c6zis special. 69 more horsepower pushes the car to 150 mph 6 or maybe 7 seconds quicker.

Thanks Mr. Gizmo for trying to help Budarooski (BTW, AHP has a proven track record to ease your wonder if the heads were done right). Unfortunately, there are a vast majority of people that can't grasp that not only does a GS have 69 fewer horsepower, but it is also an inferior car to the Z06 in every performance parameter. Reality is, a GS will never be a Z06. A GS will never hold its value like a Z06 and never be desired as much as a Z06. People aren't talking about how "legendary" a GS is or ever will be, lol. The C6 Z06 with the LS7, regardless of it's quirks, will go down in history as something "special", as you stated Mr. Gizmo.

In addition, those that want to litter my for sale thread with "valve guide issue sentiments", troll elsewhere. Those who are actually looking at the thread and are interested in making an offer on my Z06 will undoubtedly already know about the valve guide situation, since that topic is beaten to death on a daily basis. If the Z06 is out of your price point, move on. Pretty simple. Thank you and carry on...

yep. Budarooski doesn’t get it. Lots of differences in the chassis, body panels made with advanced light weight materials and the ls7 set it far above the gs. I test drove several c6gs’s and they don’t hold a candle performance wise to the c6z. And the 2006’s were the lightest and fastest of the run.

Another PM replied, and yes, I can help facilitate with shipping the car. I have used a couple of transport agencies (enclosed transport of course) that have been "top notch" with very good pricing as well. Motivated and open to reasonable offers for this pristine Z06. Let's get it sold!

I've owned two 2006 TR 2LZ Z06s , a 2007 2LZ LeMans Blue Z06, and a 2008 TR 2LZ Z06. Currently driving a 2017 A8 Z-51 VR 2LT.
Always wishing I'd stayed with my 2006 Z06. Just felt so much more connected....

i know what you mean. I currently have a 2017 m7 z06. And the 2009 c6z06 I had felt more connected much more like a sports car. The c7z06 is more like a 2 door Cadillac. I actually think the c6z felt faster.

Price is negotiable within reason, so keep the offers coming. Let's find this showpiece a new owner.

I agree with you there. If my Z were to get stollen or totaled I would be looking for a low mile C6Z06 exactly like this one. I would also be happy to pay your asking price for it. Stunning car! If I could help it I would not sell it.

Much appreciated NVN01. I pray your Z never gets stolen or totaled, as it is a very nice ride as well. I'll hold onto this one as long as I can, but as I stated in an earlier post, there are other priorities (family, education) that will always take precedence over a vehicle.

The joy is always in the hunt, and I am sure somewhere down the line, I may stumble upon another one with a few hundred miles on it. Hopefully when that time comes, I will be able to keep it and enjoy it as I had planned on doing with this one and the other two Z06s I had previously owned (2003 with 200 original miles and a 2008 with 300 original miles).
