    C6 Z's are very stout even stock. They have Lightning like torque. They came out in 06 I think. When I was looking last year there were 250 of them on Autotrader from 38-55k. Most were 1,500-15k miles. You can have your pic around 45k...

    A regular C6 coupe has more nuts than a stock C5 zo6. The new 6.2 C6's are very strong for stock small blocks.

    I was looking at that Terry. I think that they have 435hp stock.

    The biggest draw for me is the new headlights. I hated my pop ups and retrofits were so so... The first year 05's had some growing pains. I prefer the Z51 or F55 suspensions. The base suspension is lacking for a driver.

    I've kinda' been sniffing around the C6 market as well... I think you want to
    go with an '08 or later if you can stand the extra $$. The interior got a bit nicer,
    plus the LS3 was used over the LS2 in non-Z06 versions.

    I have not found just the right one yet, but with the new C7 on the horizon, the
    market should provide many new opportunities over the next few months.
