With this talk of doing a conversion... Did anyone see the article on page 58 of Vette magazine? There's a C6 that had a few parts bolted on that is putting more power down than a C6 ZO6, for a mere $5k or so. Let's see... $42k for a C6, plus $5k for mods, comes to $47k. $47k is much better than the stupid $70k+ that dealers are getting. Now, if I could afford it, I'd definately have a Z, but if I couldn't, I'd go the route that the red C6 in Vette Magazine went, for sure.
BTW, the magzine is either May or June's issue... I think it was June's.
