don't judge me
so i had the rare oppurtunity today to drive a 07 Z06. now i know most (not all) corvette guys think they are on another level then us. but i have to say it was the fastest, most comfortable, and smooth (i mean gear shifting), gripped the road like glue and is probobly the best car ive ever driven in stock form. the power is rediculous. i almost fell in love, but reality set in that i can't afford one of these. now im a pretty big guy and besides the fact that my hat got in the way getting out i had plenty of room. maybe one day i will have a chance to own a vette to park next to my 4th gen. but it was still a very fun experience to say the least. it had been a very long time since i drove something that got my adrenaline running

If I ever buy another sports/muscle car it will be a Corvette. Doesn't need to be a Z06. I'd be perfectly happy with the base coupe with the LS3.

I don't like the ZR1, the ONLY Vette I like is the Z06, period.

so a black z06 with black rims, and tints. lol
but to OP for a 70k+ car it better handle like that and have that power lol. i drive my brothers vette around sometimes, a 96 lt4 and it drives really well, much better than any fbody ive driven. not to mention how much attention you get from people on the road

Why would anyone judge you? There's a reason a Corvette costs more than a Fbody and there's a reason the car is better in just every area too.

That looks like crap. Looks like an unfinished paint job. I hope this isn't a new "thing".

Matte black "thing"/"fad" has been around for a while, it hasn't REALLY caught on, but you can still spot some examples of it..

More specifically, I was talking about modern cars, not 30's-50's stuff.

Oh boy, a fat cat fish...
Z06 is a sexy car, and its even better when it got the ZR1's brakes/wheels/suspension/aero package for the new Carbon edition. Id put a Z06C vs a ZR1 any day.
