Z06 cons:
1* Cheap interior parts
2* Interior leaves one absolutely cold for a car in that price range - one winter then one summer and you start having plastic parts fall apart (I personally witnessed this during a Z06 test drive last fall)
3* You are one wipeout away in turns if you gave more gas than needed - yes it will happen!
4* Monstrous power, why is it a cons you might ask, go back to point#3 + cops on the lookout for you.


Z06 Pros:
1* Power
2* More Power
3* (More Power ^2) + (1/2 ZPower) + (Extra Power)
4* Will scare the sh*t out of your pants power
5* Will make your heart race through turns as you ask yourself if that specific turn is the one you wipe out at and lose the car. Please check youtube videos for that.
6* You don't have to deal with civic ricers as much, they know how sh*t will go down if they try

That about sums up. Have fun!

2* Interior leaves one absolutely cold for a car in that price range - one winter then one summer and you start having plastic parts fall apart (I personally witnessed this during a Z06 test drive last fall) Never had anything fall apart.
3* You are one wipeout away in turns if you gave more gas than needed - yes it will happen! Yeah, I know what you mean, in my G20, if you yank the E-brake you can wipe out mid-corner, too. The point is...what kind of idiot stabs the throttle in mid-corner in a car like this? If that's you, Darwin is waiting patiently for your drier in the tub incident or anything else you may be prone to.
4* Monstrous power, why is it a cons you might ask, go back to point#3 + cops on the lookout for you. Cops have not bothered me a bit. They assume that since I am in a $75K car, I probably am not some punk looking to sell pot out of his trunk. I DID get stopped in my G20 once so some rookie could write a ticket and when I got out in my scrubs they almost looked sorry they had pulled me over for that crap. Wrote it anyway, though. The power IS intoxicating, though, and you WILL find yourself doing things that you know are very...VERY wrong in this car!


Z06 Pros:
1* Power Yes.
2* More Power YES!
3* (More Power ^2) + (1/2 ZPower) + (Extra Power)
4* Will scare the sh*t out of your pants power Yes.
5* Will make your heart race through turns as you ask yourself if that specific turn is the one you wipe out at and lose the car. Please check youtube videos for that. *sigh* The Z06 is a VERY! controllable car at the limit, and chances are, its limits are way beyond where you will take it. You can wreck anything if you don't know how to be smooth, though.
6* You don't have to deal with civic ricers as much, they know how sh*t will go down if they try Correct. I have pulled up next to a 427 Roushe, new Camaro SS, and a whole slew of other cars that are normally down for some drama and they just putted along and let me go on my way. It was kindof nice. The ONLY person who has messed with me was some old guy in a 911 Carrera who cut me off while grinning in traffic. I just let him go on his way.

That about sums up. Have fun!

This is how driving a Z06 makes you feel for the most part:
