I will try but odds are they will all have some things done to them. I'll be there with a few modded z06s, a twin turbo Camaro, and a bunch of other modded vettes. I'll be the only one racing something stock as far as I know.

:iagree:

Thanks for the compliments. I tried to keep things tasteful and not go over the top with the car. :thumbs:

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but here are a few interior shots.

I do wonder what John Caravaggio plans for the C7 since the interior is already so sweet.

That's exactly why I traded my '08 Z06 today for a Z-51

Steering is a step up. Tranny shifts better. Auto rev matching is cool as hell. Car feels far more planted and less twitchy. Low end power is there. Overall the c7 feels slow as hell but my z06 makes 1000+rwhp so that is a given. Brakes are good. Dash, a/c, vented seats, etc are all awesome. Even the heated seats are much better. I haven't even taken the roof off yet but I expect that to be cool.

not right now, side by side the C6 Z has a "classic" almost muscle car look compared to the C7, alot smoother alot less busy. The seats look nice, I would take those, as far as the 7 speed, the rev match, all the electronic gizmo BS, not needed by me................
As far as the torque curve, sounds nice, then again diesel trucks have a hell of a torque curve too, from the numbers I have seen so far the Lt1 is a slight improvement over a LS3, the traps are very unimpressive, show me one trapping 123+ and I might sing a slightly different tune

if we were talking base C6 vs base C7 , give me the C7

All I got to say is go drive one. It is hard to put all the changes in words. My wife went on for 10 minutes about how much nicer the doors are. They aren't as big, easier to get in and out of, more solid, etc. When a girl notices a bunch of things and isn't a car person at all, you know they did something correct.

My wife said pretty much the same thing. She still thinks my Z is more 'sporty' in her words compared to the C7 but she really likes the look and interior of the C7's.

Not for a base model/the Z51 option

I just put a deposit down on a C7 yesterday and am on my dealers list about 7th or 8th for a Z51. I have an 06Z that has cam, tune, headers and I also did the Caravaggio complete interior upgrade. The power of my Z is intoxicating but when it came down to it, I never really get to use that power on the street. I don't track the 06 because I have an 02Z that has been completely converted to a track car only (cage, gutted, lowered, penske coil overs etc. and so on). I get my fill of the track with my 02 so the 06 is just a driver. I figured I might as well enjoy the newest thing that will be a better street car than my modded 06Z.

BTW, the 06Z if for sale :D

Nope but stupidly excited about the C7Z. I mainly use my C6Z/Z07 for track and the C7 will get smoked handily by my car.

man that's gonna be hard to recoup that $$$ in resale^^

am driving an 2011 zr1, Waiting for new C7 to get past 3400 on line for 10 days. Had zr1 advertised for a week, but everyone wants it for free. I have room to park both if I need too. I will put money down as soon as the slightest hit comes about an Zo7 or a ZR! or Zr2

Man, I am really starting to like these cars.

I'm very excited and look forward to it, but I'm on the fence namely because I'll never buy a car that I cannot test drive. Not to mention the lack of pro driving reviews (actual driving and handling) and track times. These of course will come after time, but until that happens money is staying in the bank.

MR cars can be difficult to drive; their handling goes against our instincts from daily driving FF/R/A cars. I also wouldn't buy this (any high power MR) w/out taking a driving class for it, so that's yet more cost onto it. That's IMHO of curse, but will see as all the pics of over-steer start rolling in and insurance skyrockets.

hmm funny I was replying to a diff thread in the C8 forum not even sure what happened... :confused2:

It’s the stupid “display related threads” option they recently added. It’s been happening a lot in all of the forums.

You mean that wonderful computer driven program that decided "Insurance for C6 owners in their 20's", that was initiated in 2010 in the C6 section is related to this thread about C6, Z06 owners trading for a C7. That program.
Gives new meaning to the term "What could go wrong?"
