Yeah i hear the C6 Z06's are very very stiff. And of course the interior isnt that nice..its an american car!!

But for the price, its just extremely tempting. Alot of power for the money...

Can't dismiss the HR when most people haven't tapped it's full potential yet , some say it's stronger internals may handle the 1000whp the z gearheads lust for. If I had an HR motor I'd probably wouldn't even bother with FI. (probably) IMHO.

I'm far from rich and wealthy I assure you.... You;d be surprised, If you have it done right and done once, you can get it done for a fraction of what it used to cost - trust me - and friends do help. As far as maintaining...just oil changes., and filling up the meth reservoir...

seems like you guys are losing your passion for the Z...

for me, I'd go FI... unless i have enough money to buy another ride completely out of the circle.. no STI, EVO, Z.. I mean like m3, m5..

I'd heart ur HR too... at least gives me reason to go FI I completely agree with doing it right the first time . And doing plenty of research, most people forget the potential these cars have with a little $$ invested ...what's up with u guys?? everyone selling their car??

There goes my initial impressions of you

But regardless, the start up costs are high. Anotehr thing that ive been wondering about is how you FI guys get pass those smog tests.

Thats alot coming from the guy who BOUGHT A DIFFERENT CAR!

But i def have no intentions of buying a new car, not after all the money thats already been put into mine.
