Default Paging Corvette gods...

I can't find any info on a 2005 Z05. A guy is claiming to own one after first claiming to own a 05 Z06. I pointed out the Z06 was not available in 05 and he claimed it was a typo. Can anyone give me any info on this model?

Thanks,

Ryan

Not unless he works for GM and drives a "mule" (rolling test bed). Otherwise, he's full of ****, like most people.

No, the guy said it had a Z05 badge and 406hp then the next post asked if he got ripped off.

it should be a Z06 badge with 405HP, but not a 2005. 2004 was the last year of the 405HP Z06

He seemed to be clueless. Just another guy that feels the need to post a bunch of BS to impress people he will never meet.
