Question * Z06 Corvette...the reviews are out...not so hot?



R&T:

"(Steering)........ is uncomfortable though, with sharp bumps in mid-turn, resulting in steering kickback and a little sideways bobble that saps confidence and throws your rhythm. THe same wouldn't happen in a Ferrari F430 or Ford GT, two lofty targets to which the Z06 aspires"

C&D:

"As benign as the Corvette handles, the chassis still moves around and takes some getting used to. Some cars, like the Porsche 911, provide an instant confident feeling that the Z06 does not impart"

After reading both articles, one gets the impression that they are less impressed than they thought they would have been --

Still, I'd take this "Blue Collar Supercar" if someone offered it...
