Just traded my 2001 GPW S2000 and my 2008 Subaru STi for a 2009 Corvette Z06! I am very happy with the trade. I apologize for the pics - will take better ones with a real camera of the Z later.

My new 09 Z06 runs excellent and I absolutely love it! Car can be tame when I want, is very comfortable and suspension rides smooth but planted. Obivously it can become a beast when you put your foot down. I thought my S2k was fast.... This is much faster. Low end might be comparable but this keeps going and just shoves you back into your seat when you floor it. Since I live in MN I have an awd "beater" for the winter. Still has powertrain warranty remaining, and I'm not planning to void it anytime soon. Really do not need more power than this as you can't really use it on the street. The car has a 3LZ package (Nav + most of the interior is wrapped in leather). Definitely leagues beyond any car I've owned previous.







At the dealership:





My S2k had 416 whp - Comptech Supercharged running 12 psi. It was a fun car but in the end was not what I was looking for. Only had one mode, "bat straight outta hell". Could never just go on a normal cruise. My old 04 AP2 was much more enjoyful on a day to day basis but not quite as fun if that makes sense.










My STi came to me with a bad motor. Buyer's insurance covered a new one, but I could never quite get the car to run the way I wanted. It had a MAPerformance EF2 turbo (similar size to 20G).

 

Congrats on your purchase. I was on the same boat, I have a evo x and i was thinking trading it for a z06. But my wifey got pregnant and now I have a son. My evo now is the family car. Sucks i don't enjoy the s2k anymore. Hopefully i'll be a z06 owner in future.

 

very nice, I shall make this switch one day too.

 

 

damn sick i cant wait to buy one good come up

 

Beautiful.
And I am pretty sure I asked you before but I lost the thread before I could read it, but what lake do you live on? I am from Minnesota too

 

I have always had a soft spot for the C6 Z06s.

I have actually been looking at a couple '13 Z06s myself, in white.

 

Screw the cars nice house man!!! That must be an amazing place to live!! Oh and nice Z06, i really dig those.

 

Dat house...

Nice car, you will surely enjoy it.

 

Thanks for all the compliments. If you are ever considering it, definitely go out an test drive one.

I test drove a 2010 S4, 2007 RS4, 2010 Boxster RS Spyder (really did this bc I couldn't find a cayman which is waht I wanted) and the Z06. The audi just did not have a sports car feel which is obviously because it is a 4 door sedan made for people who will utilize the versatility whereas I just wanted something fun and fast.

The Boxster(and Cayman) was excellent and a Porsche will definitely be something I consider in the future.
