Honestly would you rather have a z06? - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

DaveK · 09-03-2009

Wouldn't have one if they gave them away. Some of the technology is nice but for my eyes the styling has completely gone and it looks like something produced by mitsu-hondo-ssan. Closely resembles a wide mouthed grinning frog.

Hmmm if they were giving them away I'd take it, sell it and buy another ZR-1.

As a newer ZR-1 owner I may have a fresher view on things. Mine is 1st vette I've owned. I grew up through the C4 era so I've always loved the body style. That being said I have been lucky to find a great ZR-1, which is by far the best of the C4s. I could have bought a Z06 but chose my ZR-1 for all the above reasons. A 2nd vette could someday be in my future, but i will always love my ZR-1.

Instead of my ZR-1, NO. In addition to my ZR-1, absolutely

I hate to say ditto, but ditto. The ZR-1 is my 5th Corvette (one at a time) and its the first one that I can honestly say I'll keep. But Like Jeff F, I want a Z06 in the worst way...Thanks Nick

An acquaintance with an 08 Z06 had it puke its guts in a high G LH turn at the Joliet Autobahn. About 10k miles and the old GM told him they would not repair it. Apparently there is an inherent oiling problem that is now showing up. Keep the ZR-1s folks.

I wouldn't mind having a new Z06, but I wouldn't sell the ZR-1 to get one.

I'm never selling my ZR-1, too much family history (was my Uncle's #1 car before he passed away) and also the car has a bit of GM/Corvette history.

I've driven stock and modified C6 Z06's and have enjoyed them. However I would not sell mine to be able to buy one.

The price of Z06's are dropping like all other used cars. There was a 2007 with a 4L package with only 4k on it that sold the other day for $48,000

So those of you wanting both, be patient because you will be able to afford one sooner than you think(without selling your KOTH).

I really want a Z06, but no way am I selling my ZR-1 to get it. Perfectly willing to sell my L98 to free up garage space.
