Z06 Article in Washington Times

Another flattering article about the Z06, even if it is the wrong color.

Whats with the guy talking about putting in regular gas..LOL?

Does anybody ever need to save a nickel or two that badly..that they would run a ZO6 on unleaded regular? Do people who buy corvettes really care that they have to buy hi test?

I don't know..where getting in and out of the C5 is tough either?


But overall his positive impression of the ZO6 is interesting..

sounds like he had a fun time..

Thanks for the link.

JB

The Z06 is the best and only high performance car you can have to drive on a "daily basis". I know because I do!!! My garage queen 72 shark is lucky if it gets out once a week. It is a let down to drive but it does get its share of glances and admiration from knowledgeable folks and kids. :cool:

Obsolete?

Thanks for the posting of both articles. After reading the first one, almost makes me feel like my 01 is obsolete. Guess I need a few more mods to git it up over the 400 HP range.
