Hammond drives UK C8 Z06
- Thread starter Chevrolet
- Start date
Glad I was fortunate enough to have a c6 z06 for a few years. With so many speed cameras unless your going to a track it’s hard to enjoy the full potential of many cars. At 180k I would rather have the c6 Zo6 second hand as could not justify the extra cash vs performance you can’t really use. I took my car to a specialist as thought it had a problem which turned out to be it was trying to loose grip at 120 mph. That was enough power for me .

That's a shame. They speak very highly of you!
Hammond's daughter likes a Stingray. This '63 Split Window racer being her favourite car at the recent Goodwood Revival meet:Izzy Hammond on Instagram: "Top pick of Revival, without a doubt
I want a stingray more than life itself. @goodwoodrevival"

Agreed.
I was fortunate to have a loaner C8 ZO6 for two spells of a week each time as Arnold Clark wanted it out there to be seen. On the one occasion conditions were right to give it some clog it came into its own and offered stunning performance. But then it was back to 'normal' driving, the type we all do everyday and you find yourself fighting with it constantly and the ride was hard and skittish. I could have adjusted the settings but as it was in my hands for such a short time I couldn't be bothered.

And that is where old school hi-po Vettes can perhaps make a degree of sense. OK so more challenging to drive in terms of ease of use, comfort and reliability.......and even though that high speed three digit performance is available, it isn't going to be a comfortable experience. Your performance 'window' is sensibly limited to two figure speeds....still enough to get a significant ban on your license, but far less risk of getting 'banged-up' at his majesty's pleasure for a few weeks/months and becoming uninsurable.

Wonder how many they have sold so far? The £50k off list cars on Autotrader at the mo have the 2025 model year interiors, with all the switches on the centre console "bridge". Per this article, they have been sitting in stock for a year:
