Decent in car C6 vids?

I've been taking my time trying to figure out what to do next...Putting it off because work has just been off the charts insane.

And I just keep coming back to having a big ass V8.

I miss my 996, and thought about getting into a 997; but at the moment I'm just attracted to big, normally aspirated, high torque V8 goodness...

I also like the notion of turning my own wrenches, and it would frankly just be easier on a Vette.

Then I got to drive a ZR1 today...

Anyone found any good in car track vid's for C6's?

Found a few

I've put some skid marks on this track, and in my leathers while on my Ducati, more than once.

Utter destruction on four wheels. That car exhilarated me like my mod'd Ducati's. It felt to me like it was ready to pull a building off its foundations on a whim. Very visceral.

And here is the thing... I didn't get to push it. It's about to be on the market, along with a Saleen S7 by the same owner.

Rest assured, next time, I'll be better prepared to take not only pics, but video.

There are two ZR1s sitting at the dealership 5mi from me. Red and Grey. Both 3ZRs. Pretty sweet cars. I'd just have a hard time justifying it over a Z06.

RS4-Z06 is an unknown quantity at this point
Chokeu2 - I was in a similar position 4 years ago - love Porsches and test drove a 911 S. Great car and loved the visibility from sitting up so high. Then found a C6 Z06 with 798 miles on it. Once you feel that V8 pull from 700 RPM to 7000RPM you're addicted. Good luck with your search.

Also, those Autocar guys have never learned to launch a Z06 or ZR1 - those are the most staged drag races ever. They don't even try to launch the Vette with any aggression. Funny to watch though!
