Default What a dilemma!

Hey everybody! I am a 350Z Track owner and am contemplating the new '07 C6. I cant tell you how many times i have been to the corvette dealer in my area. I drove a Z51 twice. I went today to see the difference btwn a Z51 and F55 suspension, but they couldnt locate an F55. My 350Z is quite a tight car to drive, just lacks the power. I've never driven anything as fast as 400hp, 400tq before, man what a blast! I'm so hopped up on adrenaline right now, i feel like a junkie! I'm having a hard time leaving the 350Z though. Are there any issues I should know about the c6? I like the convertible but the coupe has a very cool glass roof and plenty more cargo room. Most importantly, the price. Theyre selling it to me for $64,000 cdn. 07 coupe, nav, glass roof and Z51. is the Z51 really worth it or could i get the base coupe and then just add after market stuff? Advice needed.[sm=helpout.gif]

Hi WAV399,

I live in Toronto and have faced the same dilema. My last obstacle is unloading my Saab 9-5 before taking the C6 plunge. The prices are currently awesome. Where are you located?

Haha! I live in Vaughan, Thornhill. We are practically neighbors. I have had quotes from Somerset, Wilson Niblett and Hogan. All were very good. Now if Leasebusters would only work so I could unload my Saab, I would be placing my order "stat".

My only probelm is that I would love a 2006 C6 with Navigation, Z51, glass top and 6-spd manual. Oh and good luck cause it has to be black.

I recently got a 2007 c6 triple black vert with power top, 3LT interior, Z-51 package, Chrome wheels and every option except navigation for 54,850. The only thing I wish it had was the two tone interior, but I thought It would be best to stick with all black. I'm extremely pleased with the Z-51 preformance package. My dad has a 2005 C6 with the F-55 suspension and claims he can tell a big improvement with mine and now he wants one. No complaints here . I only buy convertibles and the power top option is a must. Hope I helped a little.

Have you decided? I have driven BMW's and G35 Coupes and this this IS THE BOMB! The Z51 handles like it is on rails. Anyone will attest that the Z51 is the one to have. Best wishes.

Pierre,
I still have to wait 3 more weeks to see if it handles like it's on rail.
