It has nothing to do with driving or affording.
The z06 is a great performance car.
It's also limited by the technology available and it's layout.
I've driven a Z06, I've owned cars as expensive as a Z06. I have zero desire to own a Corvette at all.
C8Z06 unveiled today

I can't stand EVs as much as the next guy and will never own one, but this is flat-out wrong.
Check out the winner of the street class in this round of Gridlife:
That's Time Attack, they only do one or two fast laps
LOL! Just give me a production ICE that will beat a PLAID in a 1/4 mile! These newer Vettes also have automatic transmissions. That's really no different than the Tesla as far as driving skill goes. Your grandmother could drive a 2023 Vette for the most part
However driving the Plaid at Nürburgring like this guy does take skill!
Wait until the all electric Vette gets here.
i think you may be biased... lol
no way would anyone chose a c6z over a c8z if both were free...
I would, then sell the C8Z, buy a C6z with a chonky cam= profits
Can’t do that... have to keep... lol
Unobtanium.
I don't waste my time with these types of cars anymore. Not like it'll be obtainable by anyone that isn't willing to drop major cash for ADM markups AND wait years to get it.

Well in this fairy tale scenario, you win. If it was a C6ZR1 that would change. I'd rather have that than the new one

How was the leg room in the c8?
Gridlife does 20 min sessions and multiple sessions over a weekend (10+ for their non-novice drivers). Their typical tracks are usually less than two minutes end-to-end. Including warm up and cool down, that's easily 8-10 laps per session.
I was just countering the notion that these things can't sustain at least some form of track abuse. Those two Teslas in that group I linked to have been fighting for the podium in every event they've been in for the last 2-3 seasons.
Spend some time at a track, it's absolutely true.
We have a 3 that frequents our local track, a novice driver and he cuts every session short because A) if he ran the full 20 minutes, he wouldn't have enough time to get it recharged between sessions and B) he said it overheats after a handful of laps. I believe he gets about 4-5 laps in on both 2 minute tracks.
They are 20min sessions but they are absolutely not running flat out for 20min. Tesla's absolutely do not hold up to that yet.
Got bored watching within 20 secondsLOL! Just give me a production ICE that will beat a PLAID in a 1/4 mile! These newer Vettes also have automatic transmissions. That's really no different than the Tesla as far as driving skill goes. Your grandmother could drive a 2023 Vette for the most part

@13COBRA are you going to get a C8Z? I tease my brother about being in the dealership software industry and how he doesnt have any pull on getting an allocation at MSRP. LOL
No. While this car is going to be insane, I have 0 interest in owning a Corvette unless it's a '63 split window.
Why would you buy a 63 split when you can get a Plaid which goes faster for the same price...
