Thanks to this great Forum I have done the following so far:
• Lowered on stock bolts
• Removed the rubber seal on the hood to increase the sound of the supercharger (Worked great)
• Removed the corvette lettering from the back (Like the cleaner look)
• Fixed the creaky roof with an o-ring on each for the roof panels front posts.

I was thinking of also buying a Z28. I have a friend who is a chevy dealer and Z28's are coming up on GM smart auction often. Great prices with low miles. I would be interested in your opinions on the car compared to the Z06. A step down or up as a daily driver and track car.

First off I wish I could have kept it. The car is amazing. Due to its rawness its more exciting to drive at low speed. Handling, braking, acceleration is amazing, and I love the LS7 power delivery. Comparing the two is like comparing Beer and Wine – they both get you there just in different ways. People always talk about collectability, my guess due to the low production run and the LS7 the Z28 has potential to be a great collector car.

@ Too-Fast: Here's a writeup I did comparing the two which explains why one might want to change one for the other (cliff notes: more fast): https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...omparison.html
