I have not read through all of the posts, but one thing I did not see in the first page of posts was the difference in the transmission. The trans in the Z is much more fun for street / autocross / driving in general. Completely changes the feel of the car

As someone else said the brakes have a much better feel as well. Resale value will also stabilize a good bit better for the Z. There are people who much prefer the roof line on the FRC/Z06 but when the choice is given 99.9% of the public will choose the Z over its predecessor.


I love mine, it has been a fantastic vehicle, puts a smile on my face each and every time I drive it.
