Thanks for the post. Much appreciated. I actually used to own a C6 Z06, though. Ended up building the motor, the tranny, the rear-end, supercharging it...and then sold it. Pretty good car, overall, especially for the price. Wasn't happy with the build quality, but the performance was great.

Would definitely make a good compliment to the GT-R, but I'm not sure if I want another one or not. I did like how mine looked, however.

Good call. It's a better car.

Looks great man :tup:

Can't wait till I am in the test driving phase to buy a super car :driving: :D

Maybe they will have the GT-R R36 by then :drool:

What was your issue with build quality? So far on mine, I have found nothing to complain about except the "look" of the interior, which does not differ a whole ton from the C5 and could be considered dated. What year was your Z06? I think the '09 and newer ones are a LOT better since GM switched to Bosch and a few other things.

Dear god. I've seen one of their cars do really bad things to a Veyron in Russia. :rock::rock::rock:


In response to your 'dilemma' :p, I'm thinking an Exige or one of the last NSXs would fit the bill nicely. Good luck with your choice!!! :tup:

I was being a bit unfair. I should have clarified that stock, the cars are fine. Sure, the seats and interior plastics as you stated, could be improved. But overall, the quality at stock HP levels were fine.

But just to run 9 psi safely from a Roots blower (722 rwhp/660 rwtq), you need to swap out the cast pistons, and build the stock tranny and rear-end. I was spoiled since I was used to 996 variant Porsche Turbos, which come with forged rods and pistons from the factory, and bulletproof transmissions and axles that are good for over 1000 whp. All the P-cars require are bolt-ons to run 700-800 rwhp for tens of thousands of miles without any issues, whereas the Z06 requires a built motor and driveline...which I found to be frustrating.

All that said, I think a head/cam Z, or one with intake, exhaust and tune, or even one with a Centri blower at low boost should be fairly reliable overall.

And that was at only 700whp (P800 package). My setup will make a 'little' bit more than that.:D

I hope to have the "own a Z and a GT-R" problem the year after next.

I am looking forward to seeing that. The P800 itself is bad a$$!

divexxtreme, what about a noble? i dont know how much they cost but i seen one today and they are badass.
