Has the Z06 changed at all since MY06?

BTW, congrats on the purchase, nice car for sure.

The biggest change IMO was the improved steering rack into'd for the '08 MY, which provided much better steering feel.

They also changed the gearbox in '08, and IIRC improved the dry sump oiling system in '09.

Man that's an awesome deal. Flipside of that is it doesn't bode well for the resale values if dealers are selling them like that new.

Sure... But I bet that is the last thing that he was thinking about when driving away in the 09 Vette.

The dampers were also revised to help address some of the reported skittishness. It still has that damn leaf spring though...

They are great cars with awesome performance. I got a new 08 last spring for same price you paid & 0% apr for 60 mo. Be very careful driving when temperatures dip below 60 especially if in comp. mode or TC is off. This car can get away from you!!! Z06 forum has lots of of good info.
