I drove a Z06 Today!!!!!

Today is the day that i got the pleasure of driving a 2000 Yellow Corvette Z06.
So, i like my civic, a lot, clean nice inexpensive but it will never be a corvette Z06. Yeah, yeah big price difference, i know. No flame please...

How it went.

First i noticed that the shifter has no play in it, none at all. The shift from gear to gear is sooo short. First gear was nice but i didn't want to get on it yet, 2nd even better... I put the pedal all the way down at about 3000 RPM and 6000 RPM came really fast. The engine was loud and beefy, no turbo whine, nothing but horsies. I continued banging gears to 4th and stopped and by that time i was going too fast for comfort, (city streets). I was impressed, the gears had major, major torque at all RPMs.

Reasons why i didn't get on the car
1. My dad was in the car and it is his car.

2. we were in the city

On the way back from PC Club, my dad dove, we hit a lonely street and being that it is his car flew from first and he speed shifted at 7000RPM and we almost lost control, the rear tires were spinning even with TCS on.

. The car had me pinned back in the seat at every gear. I love that car.

BHP 385 @5600
Torque 350 @ 4400
Weight 3221lbs
Top Speed 174
1/4Mile - 12.97 @ 110

I still love my civic though.!

Looks are lacking, but the car is a beast

i noticed that the majority of people who think the c5 looks ugly are the import crowd but anyways the zo6 is the best way to spend 50k

white2K2EX is a glorious beacon of light

I agree. The C5 Vette is one of the best looking cars on the road. I don't like it with the headlights up, but when they're down, it's damn sexy.

Re: I drove a Z06 Today!!!!!

Very cool car, but a couple of corrections...

2001 Z06 (2000 was still the year they made the "hardtop" model.

Both HP and Torque are at 385 (stock)
