I need a backseat too.....it would suck to only be able to take 1 friend.

I say Z06, just because I have a F-body. I'll probably own a Corvette sometime. Growing up my dad had a 68, 4 speed, 427, t-top vette.

Believe it or not, my friends ride in the back of my car....one being 6'7 and the other 6'3...we never go farther than 20-30 miles though.

i don't doubt it. i've ridden in the back of a camaro before, it's fine if you're a contortionist. At least there's a couple of drink holders.

In that case I'd want the Vette so that I don't have an extra 500 pounds in the back seat slowing me down. At least with the vette you can only have 1 passenger instead of 3. I had 3 people in my car (stock '95 Z28) including me one night and I barely edged out a '96 GT.

For the price, the Z28. It all depends on what you want the car to do though, a Z06 is quite a step up both in terms of cars and money!

The answer is the Z06...but only because no one voting for it is actually pretending they are really going to keep it stock, lol...

Z06, it's alot of fun and handles great. Tuner cars are a PITA and that's what that Procharged car will be unless you can do your own work on it ie: tuning for all conditions belts.....etc.

FYI my good Friend is selling his 2001 Torch Red Z06 25K OBO car has alot of mods, ran 11.7 @ 119.9 with exhaust only before his cam install.

Car is absolutely mint. Reason for sale his 2006 C6 Z06 should be here in about 4 weeks. I myself have never bought a used car ever, but this car would be one I would buy knowing how it's been washed, clayed, Zaino'd, garaged and maintained. It's tempting to me seeing my car will be paid off with 2 payments left however reality sets in that I do not want a car payment for a while after almost 6 yrs on this one and my prev LEMON Trans am I had for 10 months.

Here is the link with the cars details and pictures.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy a modded car. The most mods maybe would be intake/exhaust that I would even consider buying. I have learned from experience, people sell modded cars so they don't have to deal with their problems anymore. GO FOR THE Z06!!

Ditto esp and car with boost who even knows if the thing runs right or ever has.

BUT this Red Z06 I gave you the link to has mods, and has had a cam installed but the cam and tunes have all been done by Kelly Chevrolet, he has all documentation on this car. I am sure if you need to speak to the tuner at the Kelly can tell you all about it.

Lastly, I mentioned it was only for sale due to the fact that he has an 06 Z06 on order.
