don't laugh too hard. Your "German" car is made in USA.

Z06 is a fine American sports car.

I can't decide.

I know it will be great seing a Z06 on a rack next to the Chevy Cavalier and the same tech servicing both as I get shuttled to work.

Most dude also talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Give them 10k off on the ZR1 and they probably wouldn't pull the trigger. Z06 is more than a enough performance than an average joe can handle. I would be very happy with one. Even happier if I don't kill myself with one.

I think it looks pretty sharp in black http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/ZR1...thumb1280x1280
Up to 2,500 RPM (about all you need on the road -- it delivers 320 lb-ft at 1,000 RPM), it feels like something that belongs in a big German luxury car. It's torquey, quiet and, combined with the ZR1's 3,364 lb curb weight, it makes driving effortless.

The vette is not that great a car considering who is building it.

The vette should be respected in the industry. Instead it is a GM toy that gets little traction by consumers. Maybe they like the Cadillac SLR better which is the same car for the most part.
...wtf? and you bought a x6? one of the ugliest and most pointless production cars ever to come out of chris bangles asshole?

He's a badge whore. There's no reasoning with them.

I've gained tremendous respect for the Z06, oddly enough, since I've been on this website. It's a beast stock and, with simple mods, unreal. The interior is crap, but I guess thats secondary to whats under the hood.

I agree with you mostly,except I don't mind the interior at all. In fact, it is the best the vette has ever had.

Not only is the X6 made in The USA but from what I have seen the materials used on the interior on X5 & X6 are inferior to what you find in a German made BMW

You don't look at the car with your cross-eyed. Try closing one eye, it might help.
