Default Don't drive a C7 Z06.

Why??? Cause you'll end up like me,...wanting to sell my internal organs for spare money so I can buy one. I could care less the hype,..the thing is amazing just sitting still.

The one I drove, makes 620rwhp. It is the first one I drove, and seen production based(-I have been around 2 previous at BarrettJackson/Sebring but never in the wild). It is indeed amazing. The way the car feels, is incredible. It was a hair wet outside so, I was limited to what I can lay down power wise on the streets but,..it was a blast regardless. I drove in "sportmode" with exhaust open... the looks I was getting,...the people that followed me or tried to follow me to get a better look at the car, was also pretty funny. For 85k(value of car I was driving)....you cannot beat what it does, and how it looks doing it.

Those of you that own one,.....lucky dawgs. This one had long tubes and a tune. Very sweet sounding, wicked car. I want to own one now for sure.

I need a towel for the mess just standing next to one of these cars. Certainly can't imagine how I'd feel if I drove it....

Last may I picked up my C7 Z51 Mag Ride Coupe. Sometime in the next month or so it goes to ECS for their supercharger setup and meth. Not going crazy with this car and want to use if or long trips and commuting. I did the math and to trade up for a Z06 would cost me 30K or so after taxes, depreciation, etc. I'll be happy with 600RW.

I drove a base Stingray. I loved it. Gorgeous vehicle. I would guess in a few months if you really wanted a wide body....Z06 fenders will probably be out soon enough

Congrats on the new ride bro.
