EVO FTW! ZO6's are nice but how many corvetts do you see in a day 1,000,000,000,000... and you have a FB which is a 2 seater so why not get a 4-door that hauls ***?

Werd, I love them. I've got insurance through my parents so it's way cheaper. Like 120-150.


And yes preston you see lots of Vettes, not Z06's.

you're trying to descide between a z06 and a lame *** evo?? there's even a question about which one there?? what has the world come to?? either way you'll be faster and handle better and get better gasmileage than my new DD.








but ya wont be close to the style of a 51 chevy on air ride with 235 cubic inches of flame throwing fury:P





but yea get the z06...they're awesome cars to drive...just dont get a red one! go yellow or black. i vote for yellow though.

Go with the Z06 no doubt about it. Preston, I see more Evos running around than Z06s.

Z06's yes, C5 corvetts no, C5's are more common than civics these days...

No cuz z06's are notch backs not hatch backs, they have a different look. Anyways Z06's out perform Evo's but I'm still considering either.

Here's one that i'm looking at.

I must agree Preston. Do not do it. Just save your money and buy a diffuser.

Evos aren't bad cars, I like them and I wouldn't mind owning an Evo MR. But if I could get a Z06 I would probably choose that over an Evo. That doesn't look too bad Preston but you're going with a burnout kit, mine as well not go cheap and just buy a diffuser.

the problem is there isnt a diffusor that will match up to the burnout bumper... i hope you guys know that the cardboard was just for mock up to see what it would look like, if i did decide to do it it would be metal :P

Preston,
I know it was for mock up, at the time it just did not look right. Now after staring for quite some time it has kind of grown on me. Whichever route you take it should look good. Best of luck bro.

Uhh.... totally different. The R1 and touring share the same engine, the Z06 has an LS6 and the base has an LS1. 405 HP stock, which when dyno tuned in stock form was found to be 20HP underated so 425HP. And 3110 lbs.
