You want a 2002 and on. There major changes during the life of the c5 z06. I was looking at only 2004's the last model year they made them

If you were actually tracking a car you'd make a lot of changes anyways. I had the 2001 model because it was the cleanest, lowest mileage example I could find and I knew I was changing things a bit anyways. If you were keeping it bone stock than find an 04. Otherwise I would just look for the cleanest nicest example you could find of any year C5Z. |

Like I said, nothing major. A cam swap in an ls car isn't very involved and you'd be swapping in a cam much larger anyways. From a purely track view, it would take a significant amount of money to do what a C5Z can do in stock form. Good luck. |

Kinda like 2013-14 and 2015-16 twin. Minor updates, but important for a track car.

If you're going to track it, I would consider a C7 GS over a C5Z because the LT doesn't have the issues the LS does. Additionally you don't have to deal with "old car problems". Also, you won't be munching through brakes. Is it the Vette experience you want, or the V8 experience? |

Really both but in this case if I had to pick it's the V8. But I don't want a car that's a pig. Hence the C5 z06 at 3100 lbs was a nice weight vs most other V8 cars...

I have not tracked a C5Z but have driven them and C6Z at autox, and help pit and build at C6 "zr1" that is one of the faster time attack cars in North America. I would consider one for an upgrade to something on the next level of speed. But, my consumables budget says otherwise(315 tires/18x11 or 12 wheels, etc). You will burn up tires much quicker than you would on a 86(unless its got a bunch more power).
Plan to ditch the transverse springs,upgrade brakes, and control arm bushings sooner than later. Crank case pressure is another issue many face, so a good valve cover breater or dry sump would be a good addition on a track only car. Viking makes some great coilover kits for very reasonable pricing. The control arm bushings make a huge difference in feel. I am not sure if the C5Z has the same shitty ABS of the C6, but I hate it a lot. We actually deleted ABS on the ZR1. |

The C6 I work on is now iirc 26xx lbs. But, there is not much left of it.

I drove a C6 and for my preferences it's just too big. In many cases it comes down to if you like small and light or bigger but faster in a straight line.

To put it in perspective, a C5 with equalized tires is about the same pace at Buttonwillow as a 86. Obviously at power tracks the C5 is faster, and at twisty tracks, the C5 is slower. It's got more power and torque, but it's definitely not a great handler, even for the weight. |

Like a 350/370z Those VQs can reliably make some crazy power. FBO VQ37s on E85 are getting 330+ to the wheels, 4.1L stroker and cams getting 400+whp. And FI on stock blocks 500+whp all day. Get the “V8” power with the sporty coupe package/experience. at a reasonable price point with huge aftermarket support. |
