By a show of hands- how many people owe more on their Z06 than it's book value?

That alone should help you make your choice. It's a great car (again..I own one) but unless you are just geeked out over owning a Z06, plan to track it, or find a really good deal on one I would buy the GS and put a blower on it. Plenty of ls3 cars over 700rwhp.

I was looking for GS cars and happened to find the right deal on my car.

I was waiting for someone other than me to say this

Thank you! I don't have to be the *** today!

DA,I don't need to check anything *** I said on a stock motor, guess I should have spelled it out better for you.
everything else is stock too including the trans

I doubt too many here owe more on their Z06 then it's book value..(except you)
Mine is paid for, and I have the title, I bought it less than 2 years ago.
I have never seen a LS3 car over 700 WHP with a stock engine (Motor if you don't understand the difference)

This is like that joke in the movie Water Boy. Why alligators are always so mad? Cause they have so many teeth and no tooth brush.... Why are Z06 guys always so mad? Cause they have a vette but can't take the top off....

3 Z06ZR1

Resale The Z wins too!

londonk

My engine is stock except a small cam...built trans for longevity

3 Z06ZR1

The answer is more GS owe more since the Z holds the better resale!

londonk

just go to ECS s web sight and you will find hundreds of stock 700 plus wheel hp cars living and running hundreds of nine second passes from the last five plus years. good luck doing that in you car ......sounds like your need to get you ***** smoked off by one of these stock Ls3 cars to help you understand a little better .... ill be happy to help u out

Not a chance. I looked for a C6 for a few years before I found the right one for me.

Engine/motor Get over yourself. If you have never seen over 700rwhp you need to get out more.

Detoxx03

LS3 over 700rwhp on stock engine/motor checking in. It's a lowly base model btw too

qwiketz

Wow, this is enough of a pissing match to turn some vette owners into gtr owners.... Wow

breecher_7

700whp stock bottom end ls3s are everywhere. Someone needs to visit the forced induction sections....

In reality they can both be had at awesome prices right now and are both great cars. On both sides they have been able to make pretty large numbers on stock bottoms. Most people would be happy with either set up.

To try and argue stock for stock the GS is the superior car is nonsense though.

I myself have owned a 600 hp sc corvette though and wanted to try something different, so I'm getting one that is 600 hp N/A now.

speedraider

My LS3 is right at 700 rwhp with a stock cam and stock a6 on a dynojet. just got retuned yeasterday. with less boost than a zr1...

Vette Threat

It is at certain things and to ignore that is nonsense. If that's what is important to you in a Vette like it was for me then yes, it is superior to the Z06. You have to drive both and see whats best for you. There is no superior model for everyone.

mulalleybs

Sorry, I had meant from just a pure performance oriented aspect.

I think the fact that you can get one brand new for 45k is insane.

And the ls3 is a nasty engine considering how much it can take in stock form, just like the ls1 was.

I love my Z06 and it makes some killer power with the built NA 427 in it. It is nowhere near as nice and comfortable to take a pretty lady out for a cruise in as say a stock Gran Sport with a blower or a C6 car like Detoxx03's. Mine is loud, rides rough, smells like fuel. I love it. It's a race car. For most guys though there are more comfortable ways to make horsepower.

If I never competitively raced my car and I wasn't concerned with some extra weight I would have bought the GS in a heartbeat.

Those blasted fender fins! Doesn't anybody at GM know anything about Corvette history?!?
