Test drove a z06 today. And wow! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Kevin · 07-27-2015

I'm looking to get a new toy/4th car and I've kinda narrowed it down the caymen s, the z06 and the Porsche c2. Yes all three are vastly different, yes they all make different power, yes they all are good at different things well, yes I maybe insane. I dropped my zr-1 off to get some things taken care of and while I was waiting for a ride home I saw they had a z06 on the lot. The sticker on the windshield said 09 the sales woman said 05, 1lz, 5000 mile no warranty, $55,000

Anyway, took the car for a quick drive and the steering was shockingly light, the handling was amazing, turn in was nearly instant and WOT in second gear was mind altering. I was really leaning C2 but after driving this beast I maybe coming back to the corvette. This thing was so easy to drive I'm almost disapointed. With a car that does the numbers the z06 is capable of. I'm expecting the clutch to be heavy, the steering to be heavy, the shifter to be a bear, this thing was easier to drive then my mazda 6! Simply amazing.

this thing was "easier to drive then my mazda 6"! Simply amazing.

The reason above is exactly why I got rid of my C6.
It drove and rode like a Buick. I like a car with character.

Different strokes for different folks.

Give me a C2, C3 or C4 any day.
