Good luck resisting that. Easily the faster car with the better engine and chassis. I've always wanted one. Hope you didn't drive it yet.

I've drove them before. I actually was going to pick up a 2007 Z06 when I ended up with my Camaro SS. Got a deal I could not pass up and have always liked the Camaro's. My buddy has an 08 and we occasionally trade for a few hrs when it is nice out. I will say the one thing I don't like about the Z06 is that it is a fixed roof. I always loved taking the top off my Corvette when the weather was nice.

Don't get me wrong. I love my Camaro. I'm just realistic about the comparison.

Targa top on the new Z I believe. So GM heard you.

Could have been. I used to frequent their and Im a regular on corvette forum

The more I roll this around the more I am leaning towards a Grand Sport and just adding what I did to my Camaro to get me close to 500rwhp and I still get the Targa top.

It's hard for me to relate here since Ford doesn't have an 'affordable' 2 seater/halo car, but I'm sure you're going crazy with that decision...

C6Zs are sweet, and that color is intoxicating.

...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.

All year ls7s have valve issues. You just see the older ones failing more because they built more and more miles on them.

If you get the heads fixed they are amazing cars. Only thing I wish was mine was an auto. Fixed top doesn't bug me but the manual does.

Well my car is listed on the forum, craigslist, and ebay so we will see if I get any bites.
If not I will thoroughly enjoy my SS still.
