Gearing up to buy my own C6 Z06 in the next month or two... can't wait. Love reading these impressions/thoughts on the car!
nice! so you've decided against the GT-R for now?
Yeah... GTR is too maintenance heavy, isn't stick shift, doesn't have a big NA 7L V8... As much as the GTR is "cool", the Z06 is just badass. It'll be the perfect daily driver/fun car.

can't argue with that Be sure to start a thread when you get the Zed

Put in new iridium plugs, Amsoil transmission/diff/power steering fluids, ATE in the clutch... the car is ready to hit the track labor day weekend. We will see how the Michelin PS runflats feel on a small road course. They have decent traction on the street once they are warmed up, but the car is pretty squirrely on cold tires. Luckily, it takes a while to get 11 liters of oil hot enough to wind it up.

FYI- getting at the clutch bleeder on this car is damn near impossible. Someone should bitch slap the engineer who signed off on that one!

Everything clutch related is pretty terrible on the vette.

Well... I don't mind the feel of the clutch. I have not been doing drag-race launches, but read that it will glaze easily if you try to do multiple launches back to back. Is changing the clutch especially difficult or something?

Makes the s2000 clutch look like a walk in the park. You have to remove the entire rear cradle.
