Default New guy from Nashville

Hey everyone!

Joining the site because I'm shopping for a sports car. I have zero brand loyalty so I've had some GM's in the past along with a LOT of other random stuff (2012 Mustang GT, 2012 lifted Titan, 350z, 300zx, Mazdaspeed3, etc) and am currently in a 2014 Wrangler Unlimited for my daily driver of sorts.

I'm currently trying to decide if a ZR1 is worth the extra $ versus a Z06. I'm debating between those, a Viper or a GT500 but am leaning toward a Vette pretty hard. My last Mustang was garbage and I don't think a Viper would be good to live with in general.

If anyone has a Z06 or ZR1 I'd love to hear your input. Thanks!

The answer truly depends on your goals for the car. Are you wanting to leave it stock, or mod it? How do you plan to enjoy it?

Welcome to LS1tech BTW!

Thanks! Plans would be very occasional trips to the strip, but mainly a weekend car where I'd shoot for probably 650-700hp and still have it reliable. At this point I am really leaning toward the Z06. The ZR1 would be nice but I think for street driving and modding and such, the little bit of extra performance and looks just aren't worth the price tag.
