Default Another new Z06 owner.
So after years of wanting a Z06 and cruising these boards, I was finally able to pull the trigger last week.

Found a pristine 2007 model with just under 13000 miles on the clock at "Vette Culture" here in Mesa, AZ. The owner, Gino, made my experience memorable. He had three, low-mileage Atomic Orange Z06s and let me have the pick of the litter. Couldn't be any happier.

Now the fun starts in trying to tame this beast.

It's good to have another loved Z06 on Arizona highways. AO is my first choice color although I like my JSB, too. The car has great power, handling and good stock brakes. Take your time to learn how it performs. It does send good signals, but as fast as the car is, your sensing what's going on has to be fast as well.

Consider doing a ProAutosports.com event out at the Wild Horse Pass complex in Chandler. I just had a great day there yesterday.

Welcome to the 6, they are fun to drive, especially in year round weather, my grandpa is in Tucson. Respect it, drive it, and have fun.

Never heard it referred to that way either. But I like it.

NO. The 6 vs Z06, one more button to push based on what I typed, I have nothing but respect for this vehicle and love driving it. I spent 8 years saving along with selling my H/C 01 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 to purchase my 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, sorry if my statement offended you or portrayed me as a lackidasical typer, my bad.
