    Quali tay design and manufacture is a hallmark of General Motors.

    The pants-wetting exhaust note of that Ferrari is just amazing.

    Good work. A guy told me it was an F40...and I didn't confirm the blur.

    lol. Haters of.....poor quality? Yes, always. The first rule of selling cars. Make sure the taped or glued on roof stays on the car.....well, it might not be the first rule, but it is in the top 100!!

    They have now fixed the problem on the '07's...although the GM disclaimer is not to exceed 80 with the WINDOWS DOWN.

    That dude was taking it really well. I'd have gone back to my chevy dealer and smashed his head against the wall several times. That being said i still want one...........:)

    Musta watched that one second 20 times. Looks like a 355 and I would estimate that the speed is in excess of a hundred MPH. It just flys by.

    Need to start saving my pennies, that exhaust note would be worth every one of them.

    That was a first year z06 problem...now they've fixed it. Granted that's a big problem...but it's still fixed. Does the car have overall poor quality? no.

    Many, many issues other than the blow-off roof. Read the Z06 forums. Every 3rd post is a problem. Of the 3 I have owned...rear end issues, tranny issue, and roof.

    And quite frankly...when GM tells you NO WINDOWS DOWN over 80...the roof is still a problem. Actually..."they recommend "to keep the windows up over 80. So yeah...as an owner I am not very fond of the car.

    As a side note, Ford did a pretty bad job on the GT issues as well. I have been lucky with that one however.
