Traded 06 Z06 for C2S

RE: Traded 06 Z06 for C2S
I did the same. '06 ZO6 for '07 C4S cab. Great improvement in overall street driving and ride/handling quality. We are very pleased with the swap. The Vette, while great in a straight line ON DRY PAVEMENT, could be a real pig on wet roads and I never felt like it handled all that well in the real twisties. It snuck up on me several times and was not forgiving. I've owned many Vette's and they unfortunately still have a cheap quality and feel to them. Thus far, we feel like we've made a great decision.
Now, on my '08 Cayenne turbo.....that's another story! Not nearly as happy or pleased to date. [>:]

i traded 06 Z06 for an 07 C4S.. i may go to a turbo or aftermarket mods as i miss the quickness and torque of the vette. leave out the speed, the vette doesn't come close to the porsche

I must admit it was a tough choice and I was not sure what I was going to do untill I did it. The Corvette is improving, maybe next time.

RE: Traded 06 Z06 for C2S
I've owned several Vettes (check below) but I can't wait to get into a 911. I recently lost my 06Z in an accident and want to replace it with a 997 turbo. I like the fact that I can get the 911 with an automatic. Living in LA and using the Porsche as a DD the automatic makes sense for me.
Anyways, I will probably keep my 03Z06 - which is heavily modded by A&A Corvettes in Oxnard. The car is silly powerful with over 700 rwhp and 680 rwtq.
98 Coupe, LS1 w/ A4
01 Z06 w/ 385 hp
05 C6
03 Z06 (current car)
06 Z06 (r.i.p.)

I kept the Z06, mine is an 07 and I love it. I just recently bought an 08 C2 and I love it. They make great garage bookends and are both great cars.

The Blue devil will add another dimension to the debate.

Traded in my 06 Z06 for a 2008 4S and got the car on thursday (just before the big snow storm) and while I only got to drive for about an hour I can tell you that I am very happy I traded in my corvette. I have had 4 corvettes and none of them appears as good as the porsche in terms of quality and all around performance. I think it is no contest unless you only go in a straight line and don't care about the poor interior of a corvette.
