I wouldn't even call the backseat in a gt500 functional lol I wanted the 13 gt500 bad but after I looked at one there's no way my kids are fitting in the back. And I got a buddy who bought one his shit gets zero traction. My dad owns a 2006 zo6 and was one of the first people to have one in nor cal I'm a ford guy mostly but the c6 z is very hard to beat all around. And don't say I have no room to talk cause I don't own one of these cars check the sig I'll buy whatever the fuck I want. The c6 z is a bad mofo and always will be. I don't like the look of the c7 but If they say it's got more power and handles better fuck it might be a bad mofo

Im a ford guy and always will love ford. But I grew up loving cars so with that being said. Those c6 and the new c7 vettes are some bad ass cars no doubt. GT500 are sick cars and would love to own one but they just have too much power and hard to handle. I preffer to own a boss 302 over gt500 cause it handles way better and has perfect power for the chassis.

This is my cactus point! Yes this would be funner (in my cars the gt 500)but these motors are time bomb, they are going to blow up eventually and if I'm going to spend $10k rebuilding a motor, can you imagine what that would do to a Z06?

I couldn't imagine the cost of a new z06 motor or having to replace a the paddle shifted transmission. Speaking to myself I know the car is out of my league. Once you get into the crazy electronics its like the average Joe won't be able to work on the car...I really don't like that.

Wait, Im sorry.. I didnt know i had a bunch of men keeping tabs on my life. Maybe i should start a blog on my every detail of my life. I woke up today, masturbated, drank some coffee, masturbated some more, went to sears to buy a new pressure washer, masturbated in the parking lot then went home and here i am right now, About to masturbate before the superbowl. Are you turned on?
Yes, I bought a Miata shell, Which means it had no seats, dash was laying on the floor and a bunch of parts scattered everywhere. My buddy, who had built a number of these cars in high school asked me if i wanted to sell it to him because he had been wanting to build an auto x car so i sold it to him and it became his project.
I guess maybe i should have made a thread stating that since i didnt know people cared so much.

I would've done the same if I were you, running 11.7x on a H/C/I C6Z is lame. Traction issues?
Most average BONE stock C6 Z06 run 11.2 -- 11.7x in the 1/4. Some even ran high 10s on radials...

I still don't understand all the GM hate, "I bleed Ford blue"
Shit that goes on around here? I mean I would never by a C7 Z06 or Z07 because the exterior styling is not my cup of tea, but the performance aspects & chassis sound amazing judging by what they are saying in the reviews. Fuck, quit being do closed minded & admit that they are badass cars! Shelby's & Mustangs are great, but there are lots of cars out there to experience fellas!
Personally, if I'm spending over $50k on a new car, (which my broke ass won't be doing anytime soon) my money is going towards a 2014 Cadillac CTS-V, but I'm getting old, have kids to haul around, & I prefer speed & comfort all in 1 package. But that's just me, I have my FoxBody handy for when I want to experience what a Mustang is all about to me!!!

Anything specific you are more impressed with on the GT500 over the Z06 you had?
I'd like some details on why you went back? I'm looking at both cars and would like to move on one ASAP!
Have had lots of corvette in the past (I loved it) never driven a GT500. I will do that this weekend, I think its a good start!

1/4 times are not the reason I got rid of the Z06. I will be the first to admit, I am not among the best drivers out there on the quarter mile. Here are the reasons I got rid of it:
1. LS7 valve drop issue. I had to address this one myself and come out of pocket for the fix on a widely known Chevrolet design flaw. Chevy was not willing to recall this for the thousands of Z06 owners out there. While money is not the issue for the fix for me, it's the principal that counts. Why would I want to do business with a company that doesn't care about customers that buy it's high end sports car?
2. Keyfob transponder (they keyless ignition system) died on this vehicle magically a few months after the warranty. I don't think a car with 24k miles and less then 6 years old should have a keyless ignition system go out. (This is a $800 replacement from the dealer)
3. There were creaks everytime I moved the car. I could feel that the quality of the product was subpar.
4. I know power to weight wise, the vehicle was fast, however, I was not feeling the blunt seat of the pants torque that I felt in my old 03 Cobra, my old Viper or my new GT500.
At the end of the day, the Z06 is a good platform for racing. I am not denying that one bit. However, I am more comfortable in my GT500, I have more up to date tech features in the GT500, not to mention my toddlers can cruise around with me in the back seat. Plus, I can easily crank up the power by a 100rwhp by doing simple bolt on upgrades in my garage. Cheap fun.
In no way I want to steer anyone away from buying a Z06. You may have a different experience then I did. However, after owning some pretty fast cars, I have to say my experience with the Z06 was not an overall positive experience.
