Definitely "Cool" but just a bit short from subzero. Performance numbers speak for itself.

In terms of value, the previous version C5 Z06 was better bang for the buck, but that doesn't take anything away from this car.

In Europe it's Cool, but I guess in the USA it would be uncool!

It looks and sounds good!

Not so sure on the "perfect daily-drive car" part due to what must be a harsh suspension setup (haven't driven one personally, just guessing), but I totally agree with your vote and other reasons 8)

what really makes a Z06 sub0 is OZ with semi slicks

To be honest, I don't think this car looks cool at all. In terms of car design, the Corvette has gone downhill in recent years.

Definitely cool from a performance and design standpoint.

Cool, it is at its peak, but subzero is too high for this car.

the looks aren't as nice as the C5's imo, and the interior looks pretty cheap, but then again, its a cheap car
its pretty awesome for what it delivers: great performance in a normal (non trackday special) car package, for a great price... it achieves what it wants to achieve, if you want an awesome interior get something more expensive... it's really cool imo, close to SZ even
(wow i wouldn't have said that a couple of years ago and hereby i'd like to offer apologies to RC45 and other US car lovers for, indeed, in the past not wanting to acknowledge that american cars can actually be pretty darn good at what they're meant to be)

btw this is a place to discuss opinions about the Corvette C6 Z06, if everse thinks it's still a crappy corvette this is the place for him to say so... he doesn't attack it in an unreasonable way, so i dont see the big problem here :roll:

quit stalking every comment i make, neo-nazi poser.
That's your best comeback?

You forgot to insult my family and background - it's not like you to stop short of a personal attack.

I am guessing you are high again.
