I don't think anyone can really blame you, park a Zo6 next to an SS and there really is no real debate, about looks or performance.
I think the ZL1 will narrow the gap in both departments, but an SS is no contest.
Congrats, and enjoy!

Heres a Few More, My actual Camera is Dead

So no video or HD Photos for now but tomorrow il get some actual Pictures and a video of the sound system, (Killer, 3 JL Amps and a JL W6 10" with all the Bose Speakers Rewired for the extra Power ) and it has the Mild to Wild Switch wired to a remote, a new Intake, and a Tune. Last Dyno was 517Hp!! This thing is in a whole nother class than my SS was. Performance wise and Looks, its a head turner.

I had thoughts of doing this as well. I have my eye on a 2007 lamans blue Z with 21,xxx miles and the dude wants $46,000 firm for it. I dont really know if it's a good deal or not, havnt done all the research yet. If you don't mind, what did that 08 Z set you back?

I'm jealous. Wow, more power! Be careful.

REAPER SS · 10-27-2011, 04:27 PM

Ive been debating on getting a used ZO6 or get the ZL1. If Chevy price is not too high i'll get the ZL1....if not, its the ZO6.

Just curious, what is too high given the available information on the ZL1?

Impossible! People don't cross-shop Camaros and Corvettes...

Seriously though, good move.

Also, since I see a lot of posts like this, it makes me think bringing the Camaro back was a good move on GM's part in another way: the Camaro crowd seems to be "upgrading" to Corvettes a lot.

The same is true with a series of smaller performance vehicles to debut at SEMA. Chevrolet can be a cradle to grave brand for performance enthusiasts.

Congratulations. Z06 is a very nice ride. We drove an 08 Z06 and were considering buying that for my wife. We found an 06 C6 that she liked better. Z06 was definitely in a different class.

So as I said, the wife bought a C6 that has a full exhaust and it has to have a tune on it too. It just have way too much power to be stock. I need to get it on a dyno. Anyway, I don't know if it is the weight or what, but it just feels a lot faster than my SS. I need to get them side-by-side and do a couple of runs to see. Handling on the C6 is also way better.

I was never really a Corvette guy. I have always been a Camaro guy. Wanted one all my life. But I have to tell you that the C6 is just an awesome car, let alone the Z06 or better yet the ZR1. Awesome engineering by GM on those three models. Can't wait to see the C7. Although that might make me want one of those...

She's an 08 with 18k Miles on her and i got her for right around $45k, not knowing there was $15k into it until after the purchase lol

If I didn't need a daily driver I would be getting a C6 Z06 next spring. They are the best performance bargain out right now and luckily for me they will continue to drop in price once the C7 comes out. I can't wait.
