So, I’ve actually had it for a few weeks now, but this the first time I’ve taken away from driving it to make a post. It’s my birthday present to myself (getting pretty old at 29). I’ve already ordered a bunch of parts to get this thing really moving and sounding great.
This is actually my second c6z. I had to sell the first one to buy my truck and start my company. The old one had a full heads, cam, intake setup on it and was making 520rwhp. I’m looking to make a little more than that this time around.
If anyone knows how to contact him, I’d be interested in letting the guy from RCR come check it out. I’m in AZ though.

Always loved the C6Z, especially in that orange color.

Nice ride! Like that color too.. My cousin has a silver C6 Z06 putting down like 6xx HP at the wheels, most HP I've ever gotten to drive. I was hooked!

Nice dude. I was in the market for a C6 a few years ago. Sadly, I am too tall for it. Also, AZ represent!!

Yes, indeed. I’m 6’5”, my knees hit the dash. Wound up in the Mustang. It’s no Z06 but it does the trick.

You know what they say: once you own your first Corvette, you will always own one!
Welcome back to the club! :p

Still a V8 of American Muscle! I know how you feel about being too tall. I would have bought a Miata years ago if I could fit in the damn things.

As if a 7.0L LS7 V8 wasn’t enough to do that.

Wait.... since when did 29 become old? :(
Also, nice ride. I’m trying to convince a friend to buy a Corvette. Any recommendations for helping persuade him?

I started by just going to car max and driving one. But, I'll be honest. I was not really impressed with the standard car. I had pretty much convinced myself that I would just keep my 350z. Then my friend called me up and told me that he had a surprise for me and to come out to my driveway. Just as I walked out, he pulled up in a black z06 and threw me the keys. The z06 is a completely different animal. I was hooked and two weeks later I was trading in the 350z.

Getting a 240Z in March or April and a Delta Integrale 16v before the end of 2016 :)
I might get tempted and buy a Lancia Fulvia Zagato instead of the Delta though as I have the opportunity of buying one in great condition for about 50% of what it’s really worth.
But after 2 year in a basic LT1 C4, I fell in love with Corvettes and I really want ot get another one as soon as I possibly can.

A 240z is a solid decision. I had a ‘71 for a while and I loved that car! It got more attention than any other car that I have ever had. It's definitely a sore memory of selling it.

Unfortunately, none of my relatives have anything remotely interesting.

I am torn between the C6Z or a newer but still used C7 Z51. Either that or a new S550 Mustang GT.
