06 Z06 Vs. 05 E55 SOON!
I will try to post pictures soon! Garage looks great with the E,Z06,Escalade.
THE E55 IS THE BEST CAR OUT THERE FOR THE MONEY!
If I sell mine I will look for a new one to replace it. I think I will always have a high HP MBZ.
The Z06 SUCKS compared to the E55.
Look
Fit
Finish
Style
TQ=516lbs
Seats
leather
headliner
ALL but the trackablity. and the E55 is not far behind!
And that is why I bought the car. Now that I have the hook up at the Spring Mountain race tracks. Any in the OC area that want to drive the Z06 PM me. I would like to meet more of you guys.
While I can't type any more I must go put miles on the Z06. I was awake at 4:30am and could not sleep. I have not taken past 4800 rpm yet only 31 miles still.

Now THIS is actually gonna be a good one!!!
We got stock E55 with filters and Drag Rads against the monster.
I gotta say......I think if the Z06 gets good hook up....it's got this one. YETTTTTT.....Draggin has to put the Drag Rads on the 55 so that gives us a shot. He has no LSD so without drag rads, no shot.
Vette spins.....we win.

a few...
its not quite so much that the Z06 does not live up to standards of the the E, I mean the E proposes a pretty good argument. There is no car out there quite like the E but the z06 must be one of the most phenomenal cars I have ever driven. They are in totally different classes but you can't get around the drivablility of the E and its amazing engine.

congrats...
maybe a k1 or k2 member or Evosport Stage 1 or 2 member should join you.
It would be intereresting to know how a chip and pullied K55 motor would run against a stock Z06....

Do Spring Mtn -- you'll love it. I haven't made it my local track yet, but it will probably end up to be.
I tried the Z06, for a track car mostly, and it didn't stay in the stables. I've thought about the new C6 Z06 -- but it would be for the same reason...and most probably end in the same result...
Enjoy the hell out of the thing though -- they are one helluva car...for awhile...if you don't have anything better...you see where this is going?

Hey -- they're a great track car, I mean that. It's like every year I think of buying one. Bang for the buck is there. Almost-a-supercar for $60K? Heckuva deal. Beats the heck out of a Viper IMO (don't get upset Viper owners).
I think that a Covette with the LS2 motor would make a great track car, let alone a C6 Z06 with the LS7 -- the performance is there on the track. They're fun.

2005 E55
Thank you for all of the nice coments. Car now has 150 miles on it and I have taken it to 5500 rpms now. so I have felt the TQ but not the HP @ 6800 rpms.
When I drive it I am getting alot of thumbs ups and such. I always try to return with a hard blast so they know I bought it to drive it and I am not a 80 year old vett lover on his 10th vett. IT IS MY TRACK CAR. The E55 only last 5 or so laps before the brake over heat light comes on. Even when I let cool with cool down laps the Rotors still got hot spots and are trash now.
OH I guess I joined the Vett club too. All the Vetts that are on road and see me honk or throw me a rev. I have always hated the way Vetts drive but like the looks and concept. AND it looks sick in garage next to the E55. I might not drive the E55 for a week or so???
Z06 is hot in the center drive line area. Hot like I am hot even with the AC on.
Also my bother just got his NOS hooked up on his 98 Supra TT his is at 460 to the wheel and 530+ with the NOS. I am sure we will hook up a 3 way with the E55 and the Z06 and remember my dad has the Ford GT but he lives in Vegas.
