Cool find.

This weekend I had my MC at the track, entering the long straight, I was in third gear @ 5000rpm with the throttle on the floor and gave a 2006 Z06 a point through. He passed me like I was sitting still. The only thing I could think was 'God, what torque'....

Does not tempt me into buying one, but they are quick...

A friend in Phoenix has one......scary quick. An '06 Z-06 in black. The remote control for the header bypass is a neat feature...

Doesn't tempt me either, but you have to admit, that's a lot of car for the money.

I have also been tempted a few time by the performance/cost ratio.

Entry level Supercar for less than $100k ...... and there's a Chev dealer on every street corner for repairs....tempting to say the least.
