go for the evo man if that makes you happier.. after you sell the evo you can buy a low mileage 9 fully built that will walk all over that vette, while having money left for other investments. Beautiful vette but like you said when things break the evo will be much cheaper to maintain and is a car that can be driven all year. Goodluck with your decsion

Even IF you are talking about "all-out" performance. The evo is a much better and SAFER bet. If you track the car at all (which you haven't mentioned) Z06s are fast as heck, but are VERY VERY hard to control near the limits and the limit approaches with little or no warning. The evo is much more controllable and forgiving, especially on the street where you do the majority of your driving. Unless you are a professional (or very seasoned) driver, you will get much more satisfaction and enjoyment out of the evo. Also you obviously get the added benefit of 2 more seats, more storage, and a car that won't try and kill you in the rain.

As far as road course racing the two cars actually go hand-n-hand with eachother and make for really good competition on the track...the Evo obviously smokes the vette on corner exit but what the Z06 lacks in exit it gains in the straight away...I run track days with the Corvette Club out here in Seattle every year and its always some of the funnest racing I do all year. I would 100% take a C6 Z06 over a ZR1 for a track day though!

The Evo was just more fun all around.

I want a Z06. I've looked at a bunch, but mostly dealerships so they weren't willing to work on the price. If it's something you're really interested in, I have a 9 MR, super clean in awesome condition, title in hand, that I had for sale for around $24k, but I'd trade it plus cash for your car.
If it makes you feel any better I'll probably never get rid of my blue Evo. If I did, I'd proably end up with another Evo. I have 3 for God's sake.

Wow! I can't believe I'm reading this. I thought for sure you'd be happy with the z06. I know I've thought about getting one, but only because I wouldn't plan on modding it. I think the only thing I would consider is a pair of DRs so I could take it to the track and run low 11s. Heck, some of them have ripped off high 10's stock. I know the payment isn't cheap and I'm sure the insurance isn't cheap either, but I always figured that was money I would have spent modding another vehicle.
I can understand missing the Evo though. Its easy to tinker with, and make gobs of power at a reasonable price. In the end you need to do whatever makes you happy man. GL
