Opinions: Was the C6Z the pinnacle of the Corvette nameplate?

Absolutely not. C7Z06 is the car to have.
Car is an absolute animal. There is no car that can out-handle it in its price range. Straight-line acceleration is top tier. Since the car is boosted already, it is very very easy to make ridiculous power.
ZR1 was king but once the c7z came out at a much lower price and with much improved interior, it got dethroned...
Of course this is all subjective... Lol

When did the a new C7Z come out at a lower price than a used C6 ZR1?! Don't come back with overpriced ZR1s for sale either.
A C6 ZR1 can be had in the 60s & maybe even 50s. A new C7Z is in the 70s at best & that's a stripper model. Apples to oranges anyway w/new vs used $.Only if you want to road race it. Same power as a base C7.

Jesus man.... The question was, "was the c6z the pinnacle of the corvette name plate?". Not, "what corvette, is the best bang for your buck, right now?"....
I absolutely love the C6Z
IMHO, it's the perfect blend of sexiness with the smoothness of the lines but aggressiveness of the edges (where they do exist). The C7 looks too Transformer-y for my liking. I think they struck out on the ass end of the car.
and a 427 Corvette? How can you not?

You said C7Z came out at a much lower price than C6 ZR1...
Did you men when the ZR1 was new or now? I assumed you meant now.
I absolutely love my C6Z, but if I could justify the costs for a C7Z I would drop the C6Z without much thought.
IMO the C6 was the best looking Vette since the C2. I think it looks at least 5.56x better than the C7. If I were in the market for a Vette, there's no doubt that the C6Z would be the only one I'd be considering.
Exhibit A: Uncle Meat's C6Z. The above picture of his car gave me a half-chub.

When answering the OP's question, I looked at how much performance, potential, quality and amenities you got from each model corvette when offered by GM as a new vehicle. I also considered value per dollar.
Some may prefer other models, such as the c6z06 or even a c5z06, but this will be based on sentimental attachment, or subjective opinions.
When using objective data, c7z06 wins, no contest.
You didn't really answer my question, but it's cool.
But I did... :beer:
Stop lying, that's a full chub.
This is SVTP, if it were a full-chub, my pants, computer monitor, and the entire cubical next to me would be destroyed and my co-worker in that cubical would be dead.
:lol: Sooooooo glad I have my own office, I couldn't contain that laugh.
Is the LT4 an easy engine to make power with? I can't find any cars making big power. The fastest LT4 CTS-V had a ported blower, pulleys, head work, cam, intake, exhaust and tune and barely outran a manual ATS-V with tune and downpipes.
It's weird that the car has been out for a year and a half and there is so little on it unless I'm looking in the wrong places.
C7Z, nuff said.
In B4 ON D BIT starts blowing the ZR1...op:

op:
I don't know if many people need or care to mod it. When you can drive to the track and click off repeated 10 second passes, that's good enough for the masses.
Direct injection, I think they're having issues making big power because of it.
