29k.

I have researched for almost 2 years. My original plan was t buy a 25-35k mi c6. That is like 35k +.

I love the c5 Z06 body best of all. I started looking at those and i found alot around 24-26k with 35-65k miles.

Then i found this-


WORTH EVERY PENNY 9025 mi...

bad azz ride!clean looks good! I'm contemplating trading + cash or selling my 2000 coupe for one. But i don't know if its really worth it. The zo6 does have advantages lighter wheels, lighter weight, better geared tranny/ suspension etc.. I might add heads and 3.90 gears (same gear ratio as stock c5zo6) I'm not sure what i wanna do yet lol

I wouldn't get rid of your coupe. A H/C C5Z and a H/C C5 will make the same power given the same parts. The weight difference isn't that big IMO (roughly 100 lbs). I admit the car does handle very well but you could easily upgrade your suspension to C5Z parts (or better) for pretty cheap. I do like the M12 trans ratios over the M6 though. Definitely gets up and goes quicker and 5th gear is actually usable on the highway. Sucks that the top speed is less than a coupe but then again I never have (and probably never will) see that top speed. Also the C5Z actually comes with 3.42s not 3.90s. The main reason I wanted the Z was because I like how it looks better than the coupe plus the fact that its a little more rare. I also wasn't going to modify it for a long time so I needed it to be quick in stock form. The stocker definitely fits the bill of being quick - it's even better now that its H/C/I
