Question for the Vette guys

[slow99]

I've been out of the loop for quite a while. Any there later model z06 years to avoid? I recall seeing long ago that the '08 models were improved over the 06-07s (suspension tweaks, etc). Any significant differences/issues between the 08+ models? What are zr1s actually going for in the market (I can see the listings, curious to know what $ they're actually fetching) ? Thanks in advance.

I remember that the 08 had a new trans...ive heard of issues with the 06s...I think it was something to do with the valve train...I think they changed the dry sump system in 09. I'm obviously not much help! Lol. There are tons of threads with lots of info on corvetteforum, in the z06 forums. You're already a member there, right?

Yes, I'm on both. Haven't logged on in years to either. I should start there, I just know that we have vette guys here and this site is the "go to" for me. I remember something about the dry sump, didn't know if it was '08 or '09.

'08+ ZO6 has the TR6060 tranny, better steering feel, CF look center console plastic, etc. I'd do at least an '08.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I am primarily wondering about '08 - '11 differences. I already know I'd be going with an 08+. Thanks!

You can afford one of each year. I'd do that. Moving back or something or just tired of driving a yaris or whatever.

I have the RDX to go along with the Yaris...but yeah it's been too long since I had a toy. Not necessarily moving back.

Might want to wait a year if possible before buying a later model C6. The C7 should be hitting the streets in 14 months or so, and I et the prices will drop quite a bit. They have been pretty stagnant over the past 1.5-2 years, o it's time they have come down a bit.

<-- Jelly.

Won't see mine for another 4 years until I pay off the Casa.

i have to keep talking myself out of getting another one...i never drove the last one, but it was damn sure fun when i did!

Great advice here. As soon as the pics of the C7 come out the prices on the old one will drop quite a bit as the market is flooded.
