Good choice and makes perfect sense. $100k is way too much for a Stingray. I do like the C8 Stingray a lot, but also see areas where I wish was better. That's why I'm waiting to see what the GS and Z06 will bring.

99% of you would crap themselves ,

these cars in the hands of a pro driver are a hand full,

so most of you couldn't use more them 300-400hp
My old bracket car made 550 or so at the wheels and would run low 10s/high 9s. Stab the throttle on the street and it went every which way but straight.

I drove a buddies ZL1 1LE when it was about 40 degrees out (tires were being replaced) and holy cats was that car all over the place.

500hp at the wheels is more than enough to get you into a lot of trouble.

I think you made the right call. If I had your car, I would just wait for the Z06.
