One thing bothers me about this car. It has the coupe glass, and the Z06 outsides. Z06 glass goes at most a foot from the roof, no the whole length of the rear like the coupe.

Wait - he'* got fogs in the lower air damn openings that come on the coupe, but aren't there on Z06 (because it'* behind the mesh). So what, he basicaly put a type R badge on his Vette? Z06 badges, wheels, the fake brake ducts, and grill mesh.

EDIT: Doesn't have the brakes, and the exhaust isn't titanium atleast. I'll bet he doesn't have an LS6 either.

hmm, something strikes me as odd...

I thought all Z06s were hardtops, not the coupe...but that 'vette is clearly a coupe, yet has Z06 brake vents, rims, and badging. It also seems to lack the painted, beefed-up brake calipers that came on all Z06s.

I'd say its a rebadged C5 (but still a damn nice car).

EDIT: looks like BonneMeMN and I are in agreeance, re-badged C5

It'* only a C5. If it was a C6, or a C3 or older, it would be worth the attention. I have to agree with SEman though, the early '70'* corvettes were the best.

all z06'* are FRC'* and that is clearly a fastback coupe...here is a real z06

there is an after market kit to install the rear brake ducts and the rims are easliy found lots of people put them on their base c5'* .. now why you would put a z06 badge on there beats me cuz its clearly not ...i agree with you guys, not a z06... to each his own though.. i personally would have just saved up for the z but its still nice

you can buy those brake ducts and the ducting to make them functional.

But yeah, it'* a regular C5.

I'd drive it though.

My neighbor has a 50th Anniversary Edition Z06. That thing is NICE. He takes it out every now and then. That thing is beautiful. Too bad he won't let me drive it........ :?

I don't get that mentality. Maybe because I'm used to being poor, but if I put that kinda moolah into a vehicle, I'd drive it every chance I got. Not just "Every now and then"

Hell, I'd drive from the garage to the mailbox in the thing!!
