Lock down photos

No, the C7 is not the ex Peter Saywell car. Peter’s car was a Z06, but an automatic, and was sold last year to someone on here. Having driven both manual and auto, I personally prefer the manual gearbox in these cars. (Although the DSG in the C8 will no doubt be a different proposition).
My C7 Z06 is the special edition C7.R, UK spec supplied new to me. There are only 2 C7.R U.K. spec cars, the other being an automatic.
I like your choice of cars, and let’s be honest they are all fantastic aren’t they. Your desire for a C6 Z06 will be a great choice. I sold mine (in the photo) 2 years ago, having owned from new for 12 years, it was only a lack of garage space that prevented me from keeping it. The 7 litre LS7 is one of the best engines ever made, mine only had air filter and exhaust modifications, but frankly the performance in the lower gears is more traction limited rather than power.
Good luck in your search, if you find the right car you will not be disappointed.
Nice spot. I’ve not seen the sister car, but your photo must of been pre collection as the black wing mirrors haven’t been fitted. (How sad I noticed that!).
As far as track days are concerned with a C7 Z06, forget it, as they will not pass any drive by noise restrictions, even in standard form.
I was hoping to get one flying lap at Goodwood on a noisy day (105db), but they had me in on the first lap. But, I can tell you, on the standard Michelin Pilot sport cups, it was magnificent (for 3/4 of a lap!).
