BUT... I can honestly say I've owned every car you could want. An M3, M6, SL550, Rovers, F360 Spider, 996 Turbo and yes a Z06 (not to mention about 10 others or so)

Out of all my cars I can only tell you two I really couldnt stand, the M6 as it felt HUGE and not fun and yes the Vette. It felt really big, front was just too long and its hard to get comfortable on tight roads as you just can't see much of the car when driving. The Turbo was one of my favorite cars but I lost my *** when I sold it and the Ferrari is too rich for me. I sold all my street bikes to get it only to find that the maintenance is absolutely disgusting....still paying for that damn car and its been nearly a year.

Why the Z...parts are somewhat reasonable and I dont feel bad pulling it apart. Vette's are cool yes but my neighbors Zr1 has 650+ HP and I can tell you right now it doesnt handle as good as my Z. Get another Z and make it your own!!!!

My 2 cents

PS. I lost 18K on that damn vette and barely drove it.

Nice post!

I do like my Z, I dont even know why I want to sell it

I have driven the Z06 and, IMO, it's roughness is about the same as the Z. It didn't really stand out as a harsh riding car.

Most of the complaints are probably from the older guys with bad backs who have enough trouble as it is getting in and out of anything lower than an SUV. :driving:

Yep, forgot to add that part of my post, the exterior I have always liked but the interior needs a good upgrade. Good to hear about the roughness, I would love to get a Vette as my weekend toy car & have a Z for DD and general fun. Take the Vette and do what GM has failed to do to it, but one car at a time. ;)

That's HARSH...HAHAHA. He is kind of right though, I bought this damn SS Trailblazer thing a couple years ago, Holly crap it sucked, rattled like a rattlesnake.. They took it back on a lemon law issue because of all the issues.

After writing all this, I realize I need help! Need to stop buying cars, no wonder I'm so damn broke.

I like the other post, buy both :)

i'm sorry. i guess i'm stating that opinion out of the experience with my friends and their vehicles. always breaking down and the interior was always cheaper if you will compared to other makes.

Well i do have a few offers, finally at a price that i can let it go, if one of those buyers comes thru then it will be sold, if not i'll keep it. You never know what you have until you start searching for another car and founds that for the price there is nothing comparable

When I was 12 I fell in love with the stingray. I will always want the Vette and perhaps will buy one someday.

Funny thing is that everytime I see one, the front page of MT or R&T flashes in my mine. It says......

Corvette.... It still shakes, rattles but rolls!

I don't know, I have a C6 and a Z and I love them both. The C6 is the garage queen with custom show paint, and the Z is the weekend track whore, outdoor car that never gets washed, and beater to drive to the airport.

I fell in love with a 'vette when I was a kid too. I knew all the history, pointed them out wherever we went...

...and then I finally got one. It had its upsides, but driving a piece of crap just got old. It was like they say about boats, "The happiest two days of ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it." Almost every time I drove it, there was something new that was broken or rattling or rebroken (something I had already fixed once). I was so glad to see it go, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

When I was shopping for this car (the Z), I looked at *everything* - every used and new car from 1970 to now that was even close to what I wanted. But the one car I didn't even look at, even though it was right in the sweet spot of price and performance, was the 'vette. I just don't want one any more. I just don't want to watch a car fall to pieces in front of me again.

I needed to get it out of my system though. Maybe you do too...

sometimes I think about selling the Z and buying a Cayenne and a Racing Shifter Kart....

Hey wait a minute I'm an older guy with a schitty back and I love my Z. :tiphat:

Than God for that steering wheel, I can hang on while I lower myself into the seat. :bowrofl:
