A short test-drive of a 2002 Z06 utterly amazed me. This is one terrific car!
I would very much like to buy one. Given present financial realities, I will be able to spend around $35,000. This will apparently permit me to purchase a 2001 model (especially over the next few months when 2003 models arrive in number). My concerns center around the oft-mentioned piston ring problem with excessive oil consumption. Even though covered by warranty, I would not like to purchase a 2001 Z06 if that car will ultimately require a piston ring replacement. Will all 2001 Z06s (even if not experiencing excessive oil consumption at the time of my purchase) ultimately develop this piston ring problem?
