If I didn't know someone who has lemon lawed the last 5 Corvettes he has owned, I'd be down for one. I took the wife for a ride in his Z06, and she got on the Chevy website as soon as we got home. She was impressed with the performance. I've driven with them at the track, and as much as I enjoy the F, I have to point by any decent driver in a C6 because the F just isn't in the same league on the track.
Congrats!

Hey Everyone,
The time has come, I sold my ISF to pick up my dream car. I had the ISF for 2 years and loved every minute of it, but it had to go for this...
2012 Z06 with the full Carbon package.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the information and vendors on this site, it was a great experience. From getting my Joe Z Exhaust, to the Rear LCA Bushings, to my 275/245 wheels, everyone has been really helpful on this site, definitely one of the better car forums out there.
The new car is extremely Raw, I can't put it any other way. The driving feel, the shifting, the pedals, the power, it is just so visceral and raw. The Lexus would only feel that way above 4000 RPM in Sport/Manual Mode. Believe it or not the seats are More comfortable, and with the Magnetic shocks on Touring mode, the ride is smoother than the ISF. The interior is up there, my whole dash is wrapped in leather with red stitching, and I would almost compare it up there with the Lexus in terms of quality. The only thing that the Lexus is miles ahead of the vette is the Nav/Radio system. First day of owning the vette I got the nav system replaced with an aftermaket Alpine unit.
This is going to be my weekend car, my DD has been a 2014 Fiesta ST since July.

Love the Vettes, had 3 of them and miss every single one.

You don't know Andi....drive it like they stole it? Did any of them finish 6th or higher in One Lap of America? Seriously, he's bought a bunch of Vettes. Some new, some used, some stock, some modified. The ones he bought new pretty much all got returned for a full refund. Stuff like this video might have something to do with it:

That will be an awesome ride. I have a friend with Cayman S who is also thinking this is what he needs to do.

Sweer ride bro. Love the z-06. Hard to belive that the ride quality is better than the IS-F but what di I know. Enjoy it and be safe!
