dollar for dollar there is no car that is as fun as that. The tram lining takes some getting used to though. Mine loved to eat tires but god was it fun.

Big Swole

I agree from what I've read and the stats, for the money, it's an Amazing value. I haven't driven it much at all due to waiting on PPF install.

I hope to enjoy this one like you did yours.

I think it needs to be lowered.

Just sayin'....

Big Swole

These are evidently Very easy to lower.. With the leaf spring system, I hear it can be done in a short about of time by just changing the "pin" location.


However, I've always never cared for lowered vehicles...Stock ride height is my thing..Even the large fender gaps of these C5's with the stock tires... I don't mind it. I guess I'm weird....lol


I'll tell ya what though, I'm EXTREMELY impressed with how this car handles....Not just because of new and good tires... I can see why people love the cars for track cars... Very impressive for a 20 year old car with crazy high mileage..

3100 lbs makes a big difference......

Big Swole

Yes! Very good point. I always forget how much less it weighs than the TTS or the SS for that matter.

I hear you; especially if roads are not great or lots of potholes abound.

Just a few pics of Sunday’s 300 mile drive to Clayton GA and back and to the wonderful “Spotted Pig BBQ” restaurant!!!

Yes, easy.
There is a bolt at each corner that can be turned any number of rotations to lower (or raise) the car.
When I did mine I placed a mark on the bolt and a mark on the nut and counted each rotation of the bolt (you turn the bolt, not the nut) and matched the turns at each corner.
If I recall correctly 5 turns lowered the car about 5/8" to 3/4" or so and it looked like it should have come that way from the factory, much better than the 4x4 look it has at stock height.
Just an fyi if you choose to lower it a bit.

Big Swole

Well, long story short, I may not get the chance to worry much about it. Turns out the car needs a few more things than I thought it did when I bought it.
Trying to decide if I'll be keeping it or spending the money to fix things. Nothing crazy major, as it runs very well. I'm just not sure I want to spend the money on a High mile car compared to it's future value.

I'll be getting a list of everything needed from American Corvette (Shop near me) and will decide on what I'll have done or not. Or, spend it all and fix everything. We'll see soon.

^ That's a shame but that's a good choice to find out if it makes financial sense rather than just dive into it.

None of my business, ... But, which is more important to you; ... fun driving or getting most of your money back out of it when the time comes to sell. A lot of times you can't have both, unless it's a Porsche ( ).

Big Swole

Jury is still out on what to do but soon as I get the estimate to fix everything, I'll figure it out. No biggie either way... I have the new SS1LE as my America muscle if I do sell it and it's still in good enough shape and drives well enough, that it'll still be a great low priced performance car for someone if I do sell it.


Yeah, Tough call... Had I found out and fixed everything prior to buying the SS1LE, I probably would just spend the money and not have bought the SS but since I didn't do my due diligence prior to buying it, I'm stuck making the choice after getting the list of things to address. I do however love the way that ZO6 drives and raw feeling.. It may be worth addressing everything and keeping it.

Realistically though, 5 is one too many for my parking / garage situation.. 4 is really all I "should" keep...lol. Truck would still have to live outside.
