I have a "little" LS6 C5 TT Z06 and it's way fun with 800 at the tire.

the LS7 with a few upgrades will do 1k without too much of a sweat and has the nice c6 features which make it even nicer.

but I agree, the "new' ZR-1 is a super nice ride too. just still a bit too much fold for me.

they are in the 80k range, but my limit for hot rods is still 50k and that's too much!
At 6'6" and 290 lbs. comfort is important to me. I would not trade my Z06 for a ZR1, because I like my Z06 that much. I would however trade my ZR-1 for a C6 ZR1 if I could find the right deal.

Don't get me wrong, I treasure my ZR-1, but sometimes it just seems cramped to me, and I really love to drive and when I drive I like to be comfortable.

I would not mod my Z06 or ZR-1 because I live in that "Originality Camp". I like it the way the General built it. Nothing against the guys that mod their cars.

1st A dark blue 98 Mc Laren F1 with a wing on it.
2nd 04 or 05 Ford GT
3rd GT 40 replica done right ( I saw one in person recently )
4th TT Callaway ZR-1
No 4WD Bugatti for me

No matter what, it has to be DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder.

Hi Joe,
I am 6'6" and 400 lbs. and I have no trouble in my C4's, C5 and C6.
I would and do drive them anywhere even cross-country!
I modify everything, but my 38!
