Robert, Congratulations!! I also agree with your assessment of the two cars. While the Z06 excels on the track and in bench racing, I also prefer the GS for actual road use. Plus you sit much higher in the seat with all of those Franklins that remain in your wallet! Enjoy them all! Marty |

Re: Added to the coral
I like the idea of having the drivetrain and suspnsion of the Z06 without the extra complication of SC. No question u can get to 550-600hp w little mods on the GS and that makes for a wonderful street car. My ZR is at 454rwhp/402rwtq currently and just enjoy the hell of of driving it around. The 4.10s were also a great add this year. Bcause of the 19" tires in back, the gears make the cruising much more pleasant.
As a side bar, some kid in an SRT4 tried to show off his wastegate to me last night. I was gone before he could build any kind of boost. But he was nice enough to pull next to me later and give me an enthusiastic  He had a huge smile on his face. Probably first time he ever ran into a ZR-1.

Re: Added to the coral
Congratulations, Robert!
Beautiful! I wonder why they don't continue the white stripe through the front bumper. How do you think that would look? Ted |

Z06 still suffers from heat problems and it's just too fast to use on the street. The gs is an amazing ride
