I had a 2006 LeMans blue Z06 and loved it! I sold mine in 2014 with 29k miles for $36k. It's insane the prices on them now lol.

I wouldn't do it. Too many miles compared to your current trouble free ride. Find something newer even if you have to kick in 5-10K.

And you’re going to want to have the heads done, peace of mind, my brother is using vengeance locally. Hey PM me if you want me to broker a private party deal where you can save on sales tax (for instance if you want to trade with private party). I’m with a small dealership up in Gainesville |

I was really hoping that by driving it it would rekindle my love for the vettes…but I walked away thankful that I didn’t act on impulse. I’m sure they are great cars…and I haven’t written them off. But it would take more than the one I drove to make me actually pull the trigger. |

Well if the situation arises in the future, just keep me in mind. If you were just going to exchange titles, they’ll tax you on the fair market value, which is probably say $30,000. Tax savings would be $2100 |

It’s one of those jobs that compounds every step you take. It’s a “while I’m in there” kind of job with an infinite amount of shit to replace/check. Kinda like the head replacement on the Z06’s. Cam job…might as well…you’re already 2 steps away from having the front cover plate off…

Was using up a clutch every other year in my C5 Z06. Third replacement I dropped a C6 clutch into it. It's designed for ~100hp more than I was supposed to be generating. Has held up well for nearly ten years now... Could be I've slowed down a bit though

While I love Corvettes, and had an '09 Z06, give the choices, I'd opt to keep the Camero. I had an '18 vert, but with the V6 and slushbox. The only thing I didn't like was the slushbox.
If I were looking for a Z06, I'd be looking for '09-'12, or a 427 vert. |

Honestly, my 2008 Z06 got boring within a year or two after I bought it.

Same with my '09. Yes, it had stupid power at the time, but had the luxury car feel to it sometimes. My '01 vert was way more fun to drive, as was the '76 I had. Sure, the '76 was a POS in comparison, but it had way more character.
