The first example was spotted in London during my visit there in late July. Why is this significant? No Corvette model before the C7 Stingray was widely available in Europe. This also applies to most other American muscle cars and classics. This was mainly due to expensive gas, mostly narrow roads, and general European tastes. However, there are some Europeans who dig American cars, and countries in Europe tend to have import laws that are less strict than those in the States (in case you didn't know, vehicles must be at least 25 years old for them to be legally imported to the U.S.). I wasn't expecting to see any Corvettes on the streets of London, but I'm thankful I did.
In summary, the C6 Z06 is one of the best, most practical, and most track-capable Corvettes ever built. However, it will likely attract the attention of only enthusiasts since it is less expensive and more prevalent than other Corvette models like the C1 (1953-62), C2 Stingray (1963-67), C6 ZR1, and C7 Z06.
