As laughable as you may find OP, he has a point. The price differential between base stingray and Z06 is too much and you are not getting a performance improvement that is reciprocal to that premium you are paying. For large majority of Corvette owners, Z06 will be outside of their budget and will be very hard to justify it over stingray.

Like it or not, be honest with yourself some very valid points made with the op.

Sold my 1000 rwhp C7Z in Aug 2021 and finally lost my patience over the C8Z wait. Keeping my spot on the list but picked up a fun car over the weekend

Ive owned a couple F150's and an F250 before but this is my first Ford car. Loving the DCT in it so far

That one is tempting. Are the crazy ADMs over with the 500s?

If the MC20 was a V8 or V12 I would already have one. Like the looks, the V6 doesn't sound as bad as some others but still. At this price point I would grab an Artura, looks as good but faster, V6 hybrid though like NSX.

How much is an Artura? The MC20 starts at $210K.

The shape of the Maserati is very futuristic/supercar. Yet it still looks like a Maserati.

saw one in person at local dealership 3 days ago. It was yellow (good kind of yellow not new GM yellow) it had a lot of exposed carbon fiber and it was very nice looking. But it’s just a v6. Not a fan of spending all that money for a v6 sound regardless of hp.

A friend let me take a pull in his at an open track day, I'm not a Mustang guy but I was very impressed with it. A car that big and heavy had no right handling, stopping, and putting its power down so well. Congrats!

Beautiful car, I love the styling. But I really, really, really dislike the engine. 90-degree 6 where they didn't split the crankpins, and this results in an uneven firing engine, circa Buick way back in 1962 before folks knew not to do this. It has a 90-degree fire followed somewhere by a 150-degree fire, and it doesn't sound good at all unless you're at redline, not to mention the shake. I think Maserati would have been better off to keep sourcing from Ferrari; maybe they could have worked that nice 8500rpm Ferrari 120-degree 6 in place of this odd-firing boat anchor.

I would not buy an MC20 for any amount of money and definitely not over a Z06.

I value it, but not above all else.

my wife looks good, is an amazing mom, cooks, and has a great career.

if all she did was look good I'd have flipped her last year when the gettin was good.

the mc20 is like Fran Drescher. Probably sounds like her too.
