It's a Bucket list thing...Gotta try a few more before I'm too old to drive!

Bingo! The Z only cost me $3500 including mods for a year and a half of use...Not to bad.

I've gotten just so tired of not being able to drive the car when I wanted to, always have to take it in to the Dealer just got old real fast.

I like White because its different from the basic cliche Red, Black,Yellow and Blue that you see here in the Northwest. My Z is the Pearl White and I love it.:tup:
Like what?

GM changed the fluid in '08 I think it was. Fixed that problem of noisy/prematurely dead diff clutches.

Sorry...BCM? I am having a brain-fart. Brake Control Module? If it's electric, GM went from Delphi to Bosche a couple of years ago ('08 again, I think). Completely different electronics parts manufacturer.


I think the main lesson you learned was to never buy the first year or two of a new year-model--especially from a domestic manufacturer. GM has ironed out most of the issues with the '08 and newer C6 models, though.

agree, the c6 is a much faster car than the z too. it is a harder car to drive at the limit though

The '05's had a relatively weak differential...Changed in '06. Even through '08 they were having problems with the clutch paks and many owners required either the "secret Sauce" or a replacement.

BCM is the Body control module that handles pretty much everything the engine control module doesn't.

Cause the limits were so high. Normal driving you were typically at 3/10ths if you valued you license....Getting the car up into the 8/10ths range really made it work well, but your opportunities to do this are pretty limited unless you tracked the car..

cossie1600 10-15-2010 12:34 PM
Of course, I never was able to get on the C6 on the street because I would lose my license before I even grab 2nd gear. How much power is too much? Of course now I sometimes wish I have more power in the 370 when I complained about having too much in the C6.

I track both cars, so I have a different perspective in how I view the car.

Lotus has dark green.

Yes, and lotus is nice if that's your thing, but I don't want one. I miss the green GM had on the C5's. THAT! was a nice green.
