[QUOTE="03-SilverSnake, post: 6508568, member: 28445"] I just did an abundance of research on the 01 z06's... I'm in the market for a z06 myself and had only been looking at 02-04 models because of that oil consumption issue i'd been hearing about with the 01's.. there are several threads about it on some of the corvette forums.. In short, it was an issue with some of the cars.. go read some of the threads on it as they are very informative.. some people make a big deal about it.. others say it was blown way out of proportion... several guys with 01's chimed in and said they've never had an oil issues with their 01's.. in the event you decide to go with an 01 model just do the history check on it.. run the vin# and carfax.. one of the reason's i'm considering an 01 is because i'm finding they are $4-5k+ cheaper than 02+ models.. other than the oil consumption thing, they are 20hp less (385hp for the 01 v/s 405hp for the 02+ models) and may have a few other small differences... most guys will tell you on the street you won't even notice that hp difference anyway.. if you plan to mod the car then it becomes a mute point pretty much... the thousands you'll save buying the 01 you can use for mods ! :-) Good Luck ! (by the way, that yellow 01 you drove looks great) ! I test drove my first z06 this past friday.. it was an 03 model and i really liked it. [/QUOTE]
