Yep...its just about bragging rights. I bet most people will have trouble getting the Z06 to hook up with the manual trans without the assistance of the electronic foot muscle.

I would also consider the intent of the added horsepower. Some folks are really interested in 50MPH - 150MPH and care very little about 0-60. ...other then a rating of course.

Headers are nice, but they'll only get you another 35hp.
