The 427-ci-in-the-small-block (spiritual descendant of the legendary  
283-327-350 small-block) is perfect, isn't it? The Z06 looks fantastic  
in black, goes like scat, and gives me 28 mpg at 70 mph on the  
Interstate (at 1500 rpm?barely off idle!). I would expect any used C6  
Z06 to be just as satisfying.
