As for the brake ducts... If you actually track your car and really need the rear brakes vented better, still aftermarket kits the look significantly better..

And for the price difference of the z06 you can get a h/c package that would put the frc 20-40 rwhp ahead of the z06. Buuuuuuuut the z06 has the MN12.... I would love to have that tranny....
Those rear ducts look awesome, wish GM would have molded them into the body panel instead of making it look like an after thought...sigh! I bought my Z06 used (1,000 miles) for $42k, so I don't feel like I paid extra.

I know what you mean Dean-o with it being an afterthought.. Any Z ive seen with some miles on it, the leading edge from the brake ducts is pitted badly from rocks ect.. The breathless one eliminates the leading edge. And as far as 42k with a 1,000 miles, suprised your not in jail for grand theft... Very nice deal..

Yeah, thanks, I know where a 03 Z06 is for $39k with low mileage. There are definitely some good deals out there on the C5 right now.
