Being you have a ZR1 now, very curious to get your feedback on the 427 convertible - I know you mentioned you always wanted a Z06 convertible - BAM - HERE YOU GO BRO!

I have an anniversary 427 NO stripes $73,995 with loyalty - best price in the country! thanks everyone - that one $17,000 off

That sounds great! :thumbs:

I don't know about you but bigger cup sizes and more HP are always more fun. :D

Rick, 200 mile drive home. The 427 buttoned up had the exact feel of our Z06's. Drop the top though and the WOW factor quadrupled. Z06 punch and handling in the open air. Keeping in mind I was on the street and not the track, there were never any handling issues on SR 93 to indicate the car had a heavier steel frame. The ZR1 has the obvious advantage in grunt and acceleration but ride is as good in the 427 thanks to the MSR. I don't mean to degrade our Grand Sport convertible, but its not even close in the pull and handling of the 427. The torque of the LS7 is fantastic. I guess if I have to rank the 3 on fun factor for me it would be

1. Coughlin 427. Z06 convertible, Nuff said
2. Coughlin ZR1. Track monster (not ours, wife would kill me. Spring Mountains :woohoo:)
3. Coughlin Grand Sport Vert. The daily driver and C7 trade bait.

Guess all can tell we are Conti Converts...

I completely agree! Recently picked up a 4LT GS coupe for $20,000 off with all rebates and incentives. Spent an extra $2500 and added 100hp to it with a cam and all the bolt-ons. The base stingray was a real disappointment to me performance-wise :yesnod:

The problem with the Camaro is that it's got a rear end that looks like it came off a Stingray.

:iagree::thumbs:

:iagree::rock:

Yes but last year his hottie wife or girlfriend was there...this year she said you buy that car I'm leaving your sorry @SS!


(joking of course)

Greg congrats on the car and the hottie...enjoy!

And a voided warranty, A $60K plus new car without a warranty?:ack: BTW as this topic involves the C7 engine vs the Z engine,I think this part of the forum is the perfect venue.

I think you made a good choice congrats..it's going to be at least 2 years before we see the the big hp #'s in the C7.

The 427 Vert is a very sweet ride and attractively priced -- great choice! However, a heavily discounted 427 Vert is at the same price point as a very well equipped C7 Vert. If HP is the only consideration you made the right call! Understand 455 is unofficial, but would ask the OP what would have sufficed 465, 475, 485...? Doesn't seem we're talking a lot of HP difference to disregard all the C7 improvements, albeit some are personal taste such as styling...

OBTW, I purchased a heavily discounted new C5 Z06 from a forum vendor after seeing the C6.

Cheers
Shaggy

I am with you OX

.......If I am going to spend that type of coin it will be on a C7 Z06 :thumbs:

Nice car. It's amazing how much they're discounting the C6's right now. I love the ZO6 with the carbon fiber hood and cup wheels. I will until we see actual road tests and real C7's hitting the track before passing judgment on the C7. A loaded Z51 with performance exhaust, competition seats and MRC is right about the same price as this car, but I have a feeling the C7 will not disappoint. Only time will tell.

LOL, wife loving the Hottie. She is kicking herself for missing a great road trip. Rick, she will see you June 1 at the car show.
