The stereotypes go both ways, of course. But there are Corvette owners, just like Pelican owners, that turn their own wrenches and modify their cars (more than just seat covers and chrome covers) at
www.ls1tech.com and
www.ls2.com and
www.corvetteforum.com . My preference ls1tech. Those guys aren't afraid to tear it down and build it up.
Also, a Z06 is great for track days if bone stock. Another option would be to start with a regular coupe and modify to your taste. It is VERY easy and relatively inexpensive to modify the base LS1 (345-350hp rating) to outgun the Z06's LS6 (385hp in '01's and 405hp '02-04's). My 2001 put 447hp to the rear wheels with head port/polish, streetable cam, long headers, cat-back exhaust, air filter housing, and a good dyno tune (LS1 edit).
Enthusiasts are enthusiasts, regardless of marque.
