I am newbie and if I am in the wrong forum, please let me know which one would provide the best chance of having my questions answered.
I have been looking for a low mileage (under 5000 miles) 2004 red Z06, I am buying a Z primarily because I prefer the hardtop over the coupe.
This car is going to be used on the streets only and if it ever sees the track, I would be pleasantly surprised.
I recall that the original C5 Z06's were stripped of a/c, power seats, and other weight saving items.
I have never driven the 2004 Z06 so I have no idea how it compares in comfort and driveability to the coupe. I will be test driving a few shortly.
I know of other factory modified production street vehicles that were not user friendly. Not enough sound insulation, not suited to being tied up in traffic, suspension so stiff that every bump is a jarring experience, etc. If the 04Z has a suspension anything like the the stiff suspension in the 1984 Corvette, I think I had better pass on the 04Z because I live in pot hole heaven.
What I would like to find how the 04Z and the 04 coupe compare from the experience of Owners.
What do you think about:
1. Interior noise level from tires and drivetrain (i.e. did GM reduce the sound insulation in the 04Z.)
2. Is the 04Z tranny noisier than the manual in the coupe.
3. Stiffness of suspension.
Does GM have someone who answers these type of questions?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
