Honestly would you rather have a z06?

[Nick]

I made the move this year. Sold the ZR-1 to exactly the right guy, bought a Z06. I miss the ZR-1, but I'm glad I made the move.
The ZR-1 is exotic. The Z06 is quick, nimble, sexy, and just plain balls out fun.

A ZR-1 would have to be fairly warmed over to stay with a Z06, they are quick out of the box, no doubt about that. Pull hard from the get go, again, 427 cubes.

I don't think I'd want the Z06 over my ZR-1 - I already have a 427 Corvette. When I was looking last year, I specifically wanted the ZR-1 with the LT5. It is a car with an historical place that neither Z06 (C5 or C6) can occupy. The new ZR1 is an interesting car, but I would consider that as an additional car if I had the room. Truth is I don't have the room at the moment and am happy with what I do have. Sure the new Z06 and ZR1 are faster cars, but I can't drive mine over 100 most anywhere anyway.

This is my 427:

My 368 hangs even with a stock 06 Z06from a roll 60-160. Start throwing mods on the Z06, forget about it!

The LT5 has a very good and unique sound running up the rpm range. The 92-93 seats fit me perfectly. The ZR1 is one of the best styled vettes ever. Love the wide rear end and the way the sides twist out from the doors. And DRM modified suspension make it drive like it's on rails.

The new Z06 is very fast and has a lot of nice features. Not the seats though. I am glad I have been blessed with both. It is quick.

I would not sell my ZR-1 to buy a Z06 I would sell my ZR-1 to buy another ZR-1 and I think I might!

But I do want a C6 Z06 probably a 06 so I can get the Lemans Blue.

Now does that have the gawd awful bosh fuel injection like the earlier testarossas? My 82 308 has that fuel injection and its crap I hate it.

Hey John,

Are you having issues with Bosch? May I ask what it is?

It was much easier to get in and out of because of the seats. I expected it to be so much faster than my Z that I was afraid it would tarnish my image of my Z. That wasn't the case though. Besides the only reason I'd even buy another corvette would be if it was another Zr-1 or a big block classic vette. Otherwise this is going to be the next toy I pursue.

Rick that is my all time favoriteFerarri...and the most heavily produced model...someone correct me if I am wrong...not just the 512 but all Testarossa models. Anyway, the price just might get low enough for one of us to snag one someday. I've never seen one with that angle...the rear wheels tuck in a bit too far I think. Maybe a bit more rubber would make it better.

There is one on ebay in Dallas with 16K miles...Buy It Now for 88 grand. Hmmm...
