I have a friend in Canada...an SS owner since '97, and we were discussing the SS V Z06 competition today. He organizes racing for his local club and says that from what he's seen, if you own an SS, you're pretty darn close to a Z06 in performance! And for a lot less money! It's his opinion also that the SS is put together better than the Z096 from a fit and finish point of view, and also from the "things that go wrong down the road" point of view! Just another opinion.

Umm let me tell you from first hand ... A ZO6 will put a hurt on a SS from straight line and into the curves.
Just ask KevinA when he was watching the tire scrubs DanA's (Z06) was doing at speed compared to my SS ..
The Z06 has allmost no body roll and if it does you can not see it with your eye.
To achieve the ZO6 handling on a SS you would have to open your wallet for a few months ..
I won't even go into the fit and finish thing since my SS is starting to have a few warrenty problems.

I own both and respectfully disagree with your friend. When the F-bod push into a turn, I go inside and stick like I am on rails. The care is truly amazing. I love my SS but there is no performance match. The Z06 handling is something you have to get used to. You just can't believe that you will make a corner at the speed you are going then, wham it take a set and just goes right around. Once you learn how to drive it it will amaze you! I thnk we have the proof from Skyline. There were some awesome cars and some very good drivers and still, the Z06 was a class beyond in the handling dept. I like to think I am a fair driver and still learning but there was not match there for the Z06. I am still grinning from those rides and so is my neighbor who is new to the car scene. Although seeing all those awesome F-bods and driving in the Z06 gave him the bug!

The ZO6 is great, but what impressed me was how YOU drove it. Talk about precision driving . I liked it how you passed me and every one else and morohed in with thim until you reached Kerm

Thanks Brian and Teri is absolutely correct. What I know is that I have a long way to go yet, but I am an improving rookie. Next on my list is to learn how to be much more aggressive under braking. That is where using someone elses car comes in. Just a few weeks and I'll be there at Bragg-Smith again!! I can't wait.
