As others have stated there really is no such thing as "must haves" that are universal...only must haves are the individual wants and needs. I have my car with most options checked however, for me, the only real must have was the HTC. It it perfect and I use it almost everyday that the temp is above 50 degrees and no rain. It was such a must have for me that I might not have even bought the Z06 if it was not an option.

agree, if all the major interior chrome pieces were stealth I would have gotten that option.

Z07 is a waste of money? Nonsense. More desirable, love the stiffer suspension, and the Z07 aero separates itself from the plain Z06s.. Just my opinion of course.

Z07 aero is great for the track but adds enough wind resistance/downforce that it decreases gas mileage enough to increase the gas guzzler tax. Ten bucks says the non z07 cars with CCBs are measurably faster in a straight line than a Z07, all other things being equal. For a car I’m not taking to the track, I’d rather have a slightly faster car. To me it also looks nearly as crazy and ridiculous as the GT3 RS spoiler. Highly functional on the track but over the top for a street car… it’s personal preference obviously - just my 2 cents…

Legit. And also by that logic, you could make an argument for an E-Ray over a Z06.

I didnt but a Z06/Z07 for gas mileage and even if a non Z07 is faster, what are we talking
.1sec faster in a straight line? Not even noticeable, just like 40-50 more hp. Drivers skills also matter. Rear Aero Spoiler makes the whole car in my opinion. You know when you see it, it is a Z06. Again, my opinion of course

If you just want the looks, then just option T0F/T0G.

No need to get Z07 if you want the aero. Now don't have the hassle of ditching the Cup 2 R's which is 50% of what is exclusive to the Z07.

C2Red64

I wanted the looks and stiffer suspension, why is that a problem? And I had the dealership swap the the Cup 2 tires for PS4s, so I can drive the car home on the street without any issues, before I even picked it up. And I already had Belle Tire balance my new rims with the Cup 2s, so when I am ready to take it to the track this summer, I'll be ready to go. Dont know why people keep insisting the Z07 isn't good for the street. It is perfectly fine, and it isn't a hassle. Many of us do it.

people also say the Camaro ZL1LE is fine on the street

C2Red64

And that one is also fine to drive on the street. I used to own a 2019 before I sold it and bought a hellcat charger.

Z07 with the Cup 2 R's still on do suck on the street. Borderline unsafe in the rain and of course wears out quick. If you swap them for the PS4's to save the Cup's for the track, then yeah good to go.

There is no problem if you select Z07 fully informed. It's your money after all.

The issue for me is the misguiding others in their decision making. Like saying get the Z07 as a must have for a street-only car. And if the reason you say Z07 is a must have is because of the looks, you're steering them wrong because you don't need to select Z07 to get the aero. You can get the looks and a more street friendly vehicle by just selecting T0F/T0G.

I am not saying you are necessarily doing that. But I have seen plenty of people on facebook, etc do that. It does bug me a bit because maybe they are not fully aware of the limitations of street driving the Cup 2 R's and maybe won't like the stiffer tuning to the dampers. And now you're adding further expense and hassle for that person to ditch the Cup 2 R's. And they are steering them that way simply because of how the car looks with the aero.

I like the idea of the aero for the street. I think it looks nice and you should be able to feel it once you go faster then maybe 80 or 90 mph. The cup 2Rs definitely have to go. I just wish we could test drive the Z07 to get a feel for the springs and damper changes. Looking at spring rates I can guess what the spring changes will be, but what are the damper changes?

I have a dedicated race car and so this will, for at least the next few years, be a street car and maybe a few track days at most. I like having the highest performing version, but am worried about how drivable it will be as a semi-daily/weekend driver. And then if you put it on the track a lot, then you will likely change brakes, springs etc.

I’ll have to drive down your way this summer to annoy you with my aero.

I love how all Z06s look, but I love the aero, IMO it completes the look of them.

But, that’s great we sort of have choices depending on constraints and availability.

bob53

I’ve warmed up to the spoiler somewhat since I’ve seen it in person… To my eye, the big spoiler looks better on the coupe. On the HTC the smaller spoiler looks better to me…. That’s the beauty of this car - enough options that we can all customize it the way we want it.

bob53

I’ll have to barricade the driveway!

agreed - there are lots of great choices. Who knows, perhaps the larger spoiler will grow on me to the point I add it later??? The red mist HTC used in the promo photos of the Z06 unveil was the car that caught my eye and spec’s mine to look the same.

Tally Ho

I bought mine preowned so it had options I didn't have on the 24 build (Z07, aero, comp seats). The three I wish it had is front lift, dual roof, and black exhaust tips. The exhaust tips I can change, I can buy a transparent roof but the nose lift is not a feasible add. Still extremely happy with my decision to get this car instead of waiting.

MyC8_NOWIFE

You HAVE to get z07 if nothing else. literally no other reason to buy this car. Ill get hate for saying it but its the damn truth. You're spending 150k+ for this thing. Get Z07.

KCC8

no, just no. If you are not tracking it, it makes no sense. The order I am placing will have CCBs and the aero kit, likely. All the looks of the Z07 with the better ride of the Z06. On the street and even on most tracks they would be equal performance wise. But if you simply must be able to tell your cars and coffee buddies “but this is a TRUE Z07”, by all means have at it.

Z07 needs a PS4 option.
