Question Quality Corvette kits

I am starting Revell's 2001 Z06 kit. I was just wondering if any of you have done this kit and if there is anything I should know. I have read some reviews saying that there are some innacuracies, should I be looking for a better kit?

That is the only Z06 Corvette kit other than a snap kit, and from what I've seen/heard they go together pretty well. Main source of contention is the incorrect automatic transaxle. Other than that, it's a very good kit.

The front also sits a little too high, so you may want to look into fixing that. otherwise its a great model.

I got the Z06 kit in my pile of kits and I noticed another inaccuracy. If you take a look at Revell's kit and the photo of a real Z06 engine bay below (circled area). Looks like Revell took the cam covers from a regular C5! Still a good kit though.
