Default Just bought another Z-06!

I already have a red 2008! I was looking to go to a ZR1 but honestly
can't see the double price for them. But never did care for the red.
I like Silver blue or black better! Soooo I saw a 2006 Black Z
with 7800 miles in 9-10 condition for a great price.
So I bought it!

you need to drive a ZR1 to understand why its double the cost. Yes its poop's all over a bone stock Z06! That is why I had to buy both

For the price difference you can keep it! I even have the money to buy one or two!
If you want your *** handed to you! Just line-up with My other z-06
with 650 rwhp! It will poop all over your Zr1! Beside the mexisized Z-06 look and the 20 inch rears turned me off!

Nice buy I just noticed that car in the for sale section. I do not need another car though Looks like a nice, clean, unmolested 06. Enjoy it

The Ferrari dealer here where I live has an '09 ZR1 with 1,200 miles for $89,900. Not sure if that's a steal but it is practically a new car.

Congrats! Seeing that you have two Z06's now I would have assumed you'd know there is no "hyphen" between the Z and the 0.

Like I say I was looking to buy a ZR1 but for the price.
With GMPP till 7-2015 then it's as unmolested as they come. I can't pass on it! I guess I'm too cheap to buy a ZR1! There still coming down where Z's like this one are not!

Nice! Looking forward to seeing pics of both cars side by side. ZR1s are nice, but Z06s offer much better value for the money.

Ive seen a bunch of 09 with 5 6k miles in the low 70s and the few 10-20k miles cars at 65-70 all being 09s.

Good buy. I guess one of these days I will drive the ZR1 to see what the hype is all about. But as it stands my car is plenty fast enough (550 rwhp) and I'll gladly line up with any ZR1.

If I'm going to spend $120,000 on a car its going to be more exotic than a Corvette. Just sayin.

My Z has got almost 7 at the wheels. I recently drove a ZR and I will say, from low it pulls like a motha^%^@*!!!

Maybe not exotic enough, I understand that, but just like the Z, the bang for the buck is there...

Thats good but I have been looking and have not seen any thing of that sort! The late model less expensive ones are boundart
cars and no thanks on those. They have no power train warranty and have been run hard by rookie drivers! When they come down next year. Maybe I'll sell my 2008 by then and keep this 2006 and get a
ZR1.

Both the Z06 and ZR1 are great cars, and offer their own niche-of-value for the purpose for which each
has been designed & built. IMO, neither is a bad decision.
