lol ok buddy. You clearly never drove one and couldn’t obviously afford either.

If I was going to spend $100k it wouldn’t be on an American car.
Lol, this must be a joke, c6z is like 40k, who tf cant afford one of those? In fact who would spend that much on a 10+ year old car? LOL

You’re asking the the wrong guy because I never said I spent that much on mine, but nice try.

I just looked, looks like they can be had at 30k, so going back 30k c6z vs a c8z? Ill take a c8z.
And that’s your prerogative. I didn’t compare the two, I just simple prefer mine

Would you change your mind if it came in manual? I wish GM would do that and offer it in manual. That would for sure take a slice out of the GT3 market. Almost half the price too compared to a GT3.

Honestly probably not. I drove a new c8, and while I can’t compare a base model to a z06, I just wasn’t a fan of the way I felt driving it. My z is an absolute raw drivers car and you feel the horsepower in the seat of your ass. The sound of a cammed ls7 at 7k rpm is irreplaceable

I hate to be that guy but what's the point of getting a C8 Z06 when it will be slower than a Tesla Plaid?

The Plaid can also haul a bike in the back and still be faster than the Z06. Yeah I know sound and everything but at least make if faster than the hated Tesla sedan?! The whole point of Corvette and Z06 is that it is supposed to be fast. Well it's slower than a 4 door electric sedan!

I am sure the C8 Z06 will be faster than the Plaid when they are done with their Nürburgring testing but it will be slower in a 1/4 mile drag race.


The Z06 Didn’t Get A Clean Lap Around The Green Hell, Thanks To Tesla And BMW Crashes.

Hey I want a production ICE car that will beat an EV just as much as you do! Aren't you a little pissed off that an EV is beating all these ICE cars that weight less?!

I predict you will one day drive an EV lol!

The Tesla at my local track overheated and went to limp mode after 3 laps. These aren't track cars.

As for the Z06:

Am I pissed off that a helicopter can beat me from A to B? No... I could not possibly care what an EV will do. They were dreamed up by soggy tit Democrats and if you think it's funny that one day we'll all be forced to drive the same identicle no imagination bean looking car then you should off yourself from this forum and go to Telsamanboylove.com.

What some fat no talent slob can do in a car that drives entirely for you is irrelevant in car culture.

That is fine. Lets set a limit of $150K. (price of car included)
I can guarantee that by the time I have a $150K in a 09 Z06 it will walk the dog on anything that can be done for the same money with a 2023 Z06.
The only bragging point the 2023 will have is that it is a 2023...

Performance isn't everything. I already stated that. The modern car is a better built, better equipped vehicle to be in.

I'll tip my hat to GM, that's a whole lot of performance, tech and exotica. This thing definitely won't be cheap, especially if you need to have one soon. Mixed feelings about, it's a pretty radical departure from what we know...but then again the Corvette needed that to stay relevant. I think a base Stingray would be more than enough to keep me happy, if only they could put a manual in it.
