With ZR-1s, most of the guys in the world who value them highly are on this site regularly and already have one or more of the cars. They're awesome cars with amazing engines, but the rest of the world doesn't value them highly, unfortunately. The "value" of these cars is purely speculative. $24K for a less than perfect Z with 27,000 miles is too high, in my opinion.

I have to ask,with 15K in mods in your ZR1 how did it stack up with your C6?

Is the C6 a Z06? Sometimes i kick around maybe possibly selling the ZR1 FOR A C6 Z06......My car came stock and i added around 5K in mods and it woke the car up nice...Just curious,when was your ZR1 up for sale and when did you sell it?

Thanks....

No, my C6 wasn't a Z, and I've since moved on to a Stingray. To a stopwatch, my modded ZR-1 and my C6 were probably very similar; a manual LS3 Corvette was apparently capable of hitting 60mph in the low 4 second range, for instance, and my healthy and lightly-modded Z was likely close to that. Both FELT very quick but the character of the 2 cars was as different as their paint colors (black and white). I highly recommend the C6, although the C7 is in a completely different league. If you do buy a C6, I would suggest a '12 or a '13, as the earlier models had the worst seats ever used any vehicle, IMO. To answer your last question, I traded my Z on the C6 in December of 2014. Good luck!
