I'm going to go and check it out hopfully today. The dealor called me and said they want it off the lot because winter is just around the corner. We'll see what happens.

I went and drove the 2004 Z06. The car didn't impress me at all. So I'll keep the GTO for now. I'm going to try and find a base 2005 C6, as I hear they are much nicer.

My grandmother can drive one quicker than 12.9...I've turned 12.28 in a bone stock 2001 Z06 385 HP.. a 2002-2004 405 HP will run a 12 flat or high 11s with the right air on a good track with a good driver..the car has a shipping weight of 3045 pounds compared to the rather rotund GTO and it pulls over a G on a skid pad..pretty stong numbers for a stock automobile..nuff said..

You might as well skip the base C6 and go straight to the C6 Z06. Maybe that will be enough to impress you.

I guess your not looking for performance, as the C5 Z06 will blow the C6 away in every department. If you can't tell the difference between a GTO and a Z06, maybe you might want to consider a honda civic. Robert

Oh yeah, your gonna have fun driving the Z06 manual... yeah... fun.
Now I remember why I bought an A4 f-body and C5 instead of a M6. I haven't driven a manual in 7 years.
Burn-out, stall, burn-out, thud, thud, thud (let go of clutch to fast), now drifting forward at 5 mph when going forward slowly, BRAKE, stalling sound, stalling sound, push clutch, BRAKE DON'T FORGET TO BRAKE.
Burn-out.
That's what I get only driving it on weekends.
It's not like driving my old Saab 900S or even a Ford Ranger.
