It's about a 5 hour drive. I might consider going if I can't find a local dealer with one I can go flog.

I was ruined after I first drove one

im kinda in the same boat as you. i want to get a z06 next year or year and a half, but not sure what to expect.

currently i am running a 2010 camaro ss with 2300 maggie, LT's and i am putting down 556 RWHP right now. i wonder if i will be trading up, down or lateral....i really like having a backseat to transport more than 2 poeple.

for those with kids, i have 9 year old, can i put her in the front and disable the airbag in the z06? how safe are they in the front?


here is a picture of my car now...

I followed the advice yesterday, and just did it. I didn't even drive it, although it only had 4800 miles and is still under warrantee. I sold my coupe and bought a 2009 Z06. Couldn't be happier.
