Damn man sorry to see it go. C7Z in your future? Did you buy the c6 new?
I cried a little when I sold mine. Whats next?
not brand new. it had 1000 miles on it when I picked it up. prob doing a c7 z06.
Been there. It was a sad moment watching my C6Z drive away with the new owner.
I know that feeling all too well, dumbest mistake of my automotive life.
best move I ever made... I don't miss mine at all but I do understand that feeling.
I don't really get it, unless you're selling it because of financial hardship there is no reason to be sad, in my mind. Pretty much every person selling theirs is upgrading, if you're so sad then keep it.
That's why I had to sell mine, lost my job. Reason I regret it is because I got my job back a few months later.
you prefer a gt500 over a C6Z? either you've got a bad back or are "special"
Hell yea I would too. C6Z is nice but can't even really be boosted. You're about maxed out at 600whp unless you do a motor swap. And unless I'm wanting to just do track days I want more. He has a 13+ 500!
Did you feel that way about the Viper too?
I love the c6z. My buddy had one. heads cam intake procharged at 5lbs. The car was just wild. The idle and sound would just scare you.
you're right, I'd hate having a better power to weight ratio with my n/a combo, running cooler, 29mpg, better handling, and easier to work on.

I miss my Viper. If i could go back in time, I wouldn't have sold it to pick up a Z06. The problem with the Viper was that it ate 2 power steering pumps while I had it...less than 15k miles and that I had a really hard time putting the power down to the ground.
I had numerous quality issues with the Z06. Fit and finish sucked and for a car with less than 24k...it felt like I was driving around in a car with over 100k.
My current car is very reliable, I love the bells and whistles in it and I spent 2 grand to make close to 150rwhp in it. It finally feels like I have enough horsepower, and I can put my toddlers in the back if they want to go for a ride. Best situation all around... With that said..I will be putting a Gen 5 Viper next to it in the next couple of years.
So you sold your problem car to a guy and ripped him off, bought a C6Z now go around talking shit on people who enjoy cars that aren't C6Z's. Got it.
Yeah that's it. Wtf are you talking about? I sold my cobra to pay off my wedding, not that it's any of your business. The new owner and I talk all the time. And yes I think c6z is better than gt500, that's all.
ah, you just bought a C6Z...makes sense now
