Very nice ride. Thanks for sharing.
What do you think of the C8? The new ZR1 should be insane.
I like the C8, just wish it wasn't so heavy, but i understand it's more about comfort for sales these days. My Z is not very comfortable compared to a C8. I'm waiting for the C8 Z06 to come out, not sure i can afford one, but maybe a used one in 4-5 years. I've driven a few C8's and they are very fun cars to drive.
Very cool. My uncle is a big vet guy. He had a 02 and 03 Z06 then moved onto a 07 Z06. That turned into a 09 ZR-1 and a month ago, he finally traded the ZR-1 in for a new C8. His ZR-1 had less than 4k miles on it. That was one scary ass car.
They don't call the ZR the King for nothing. They are one of my favorite cars and i almost bought one instead of the Z, but i wanted a track car that wouldn't have cooling problems. The supercharged vettes all have heat soak issues, even with lots of cooling mods; i can beat on my Z full out for 45 mins to a hour straight on a track and it runs flawlessly, even in 90d Texas heat. The ZR's can make 800-900hp very easily and drive like stock, they are incredible cars and very tame to drive until you get on the throttle. My car "feels" like it has 650hp, mainly due to the cam and exhaust. But I think it has good manners on the street, the cam is very streetable IMO, not too much LSA and plenty of lift on the intake side, which is what LS7's with high compression need.
That's would I would think but he's got a Ferrari 488 also and says he prefers driving the C8 over that. He's a strange guy though so who knows.
A lot of Exotic owners say the C8 is a poor mans Ferrari and that the C8 has better manners. There are a lot of blogs that prove the guys who own the higher level Exotics typically have good things to say about the C8.
To each his own. My C6Z is not something i would drive daily, but i could if i wanted to. When i first bought it bone stock i drove it every day for like 3 months, unless it was raining. Wasn't bad, but most people are more picky than me. I grew up driving old hot rods, so comfort to me is probably very different than the average Joe. The seats in the C6 aren't very comfortable, but you can upgrade them easier. Plus getting in and out of a car that is only 3 inches off the ground is a pain in the ass.
