That's why I don't think the C6Z will go much lower in price. The prices you see are great now. I can honestly see it regaining more value in the future even if it is small.

Crazy low miles on it as well. You could tell it was well taken care of.

If you can afford it, go for it. I drove my buddy's z06 (well modded, ~600whp), it was helluva fun. I did not realize how difficult it was to drive a car with torque, especially around corners.

I’m on several Corvette forums and there a bunch of guys who beat the shit out of their Corvettes(Z06 included) and many who don’t and do exactly like you described. I’d be looking for that guys car if I was the OP.

THIS. Vettes and Zs in particular will kill you if you let them. They are brute force, no lag, no delay, spin tires in anything less than 5th, rocket ships. And you better know how to drive one. This is why the old adage "there's no replacement for displacement" still hold true. You get 500+ HP and a fat, juicy, long lasting torque curve, with no delays. I'm contemplating a C6 Z06 as well as a C7 GS when I get back to the States.

No I didn’t forget. The ZL1 was a very limited engine, special COPO order and rare as hens teeth and it was rated from the factory at about 430 if I recall. I think only 2 or 3 found their way into Corvettes from the factory. There’s talk of this holy grail engine producing much more then its factory rated HP but they were tested not in a car but on a Dyno stand and I’m sure you know the numbers are much higher on the stand and the factories weren’t monitored for honesty. Engine on stand, race gas, custom not factory headers, no drive line loss, no accessories robbing power and whatever tweaks the engineers could do to raise numbers. Here’s a quick article showing what a couple ran the 1/4 stock. Sometimes these heroes get blow way out of proportion. Still would kill to have one.
https://www.americancarcollector.com...t-camaro-zl1-2 13.1@110 and 12.1@117 on slicks doesn’t equate to over 500bhp. Stock C6 Z06 easily whips that on stock runflats. ET and trap.

Didn't they rate HP different then?

They did...Before 1971, engines were factory rated using a process defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers as 'Gross' horsepower. This figure was calculated on a test stand with no intake, exhaust or power-robbing accessories attached. After 1971, power levels dropped as manufacturers re-rated engines using the SAE's 'Net' process, which added intake and exhaust restrictions and the load of engine accessories, like the alternator and power-steering pump.
When the '72's came out, we were shocked at what was called "net rated" horsepower figures...that an lowered compression ratios (for the then new unleaded gas). |

We can’t even talk about engine tech because fuel inj, computers and all obviously sets apart the two engines but one can’t claim the older is more powerful then say it’s not fair because new technology. More power is more power.

The economy will climb out of the hole pretty quickly when they get a firm handle on this thing and before then you might see prices of Z’s dropping at this moment in time because some might need liquidity in these trying times, a buyers market.

I've owned an 84 Vette, 02Z06, 08Z06, and now a 16Z06. I have raced all these cars. Fun on the street and track!
