Its the sort of car you see forsale six months later when tickets and insurance get too painful, or you just want something more fun and/or comfortable.
The Z06 is no Mustang! The C7 coming out is suppose to have over 800HP or more. These cars do handle very well, not like the old muscle cars, fast in a straight line, just don't make any turns. Of course, no one needs 650, 750, 1,000 HP on the street. That Vette is impressive and is fun to drive. For the money, it's a real deal. If you can spend $120K, insurance is no problem. Tickets might be on the other hand. That Z06 is quite a car at a fraction of the price of Ferrari or Porache!
