Mine.....if I could ever get it home. Silver '12, 3LZ with carbon package, yellow calipers/interior accents, MSRC and Cup wheels.

Currently she is snowed in at the dealership in Ohio. Now I'm snowed in at my house in Raleigh, NC. 6 inches of white stuff predicted overnight and we haven't had this much snow in years. Apparently January is a terrible time to purchase a sports car. Especially if you live on the east coast and are not buying it locally.





Oh yeah, this car was also used on the Chevy website and was in the 2012 brochure.

I had an 08 which I loved but I now have a Cyber Gray 2011 Carbon Fiber Z07 version and it's by far the best car I've owned.

I really like my '13 VY Z, but the best looking Z has to be the 2004 FRC Z (blue, with factory stripe detail)

Do you have anything to back that up with, or is it just your opinion?

We're on a "which model Z is your favorite?" thread. Not a "What is the best Z to ever come out in the history of the corvette" thread. Some of us choose what we own as our favorite, while some pick what they want but don't have. Some pick their reality Z, some pick their dream Z. Is there something wrong with each individual having their own personal favorite?

If you take a look at the stock Z06 Fast list you will see 8 of the top 10 1/4 times are 2006 Z06's. Is that a function of weight or state of tune, I honestly don't know for sure. I have read it many times that the 06 Z had a more agressive state of factory tune. I have also read that some who owned 2006 Z's and later bought later Z's felt the 06 was quicker. I have also driven several later Z06's that did not feel as quick as my 06.

Hey, they are all great cars and none of them are slow. Maybe a tuner can chime in with some real data.

My favorite Z is the one that I have: a black on black 2008 that is 100% stock (at least for now...)

Happiness isn't getting what you love, it's loving what you have!
