C5 Convertible with just over 100,000 miles. Drives like new!
C6 Z06 - amazing automobile.
Both cars will get close to 30 highway m.p.g. Your chances of being bettered on the streets are about like your worries of being passed on the water in your supercharged Fountain!

My old man has a C6 ZO6. It really is a nice behaving car. It can be a handful at times, cornering. He runs it at Mod Ohio a couple times a year. It really is a nice track car that would take little to make it fast around the track. Night and day vs. his '94 ZR1, still miss that old bucket, but you forget about it once you stand on the loud pedal!

We have a C5 convertible with over 100,000 miles. We put new foam put in the driver's seat, and have used up one set of tires (installed new Michelins) and brake pads. We are on our third battery. Car pulls as strong as the day I bought it. Our 08 Z06 is a beast. If you think you are a master of this car you have either been to driver's school or you are kidding yourself. Looking for a deal? I would look for a good GrandSport coupe with the dry sump motor. The LS3 pulls hard and you have big tires and brakes from the Z06. Put in an aftermarket driver's seat, some belts and a harness bar, and you would have a car that could be used as a daily driver or enjoyed on an open track day (this is basically the setup used at Bondurant's). Most folks don't know how easy the Vette is on fuel too, a bonus. We get 28+ on trips.
