All cars have issues. Its just that corvette owners tend to cry more than others. They feel more entitled, therefore; make a bigger stink about it...

Look at how many issues with the 5.0s or gt350s and even 100s

C7Z all day baby!

They are turdy for their power. Zl1 is only about .5 faster .....lol

You and who ever did that is a lier. Plain and simple.......or your car woulda broke 120 with bolt ons instead of being 4 mph off your claim. Hell you were even 1sec off that dude on a full drag pak

So much for tire only unless you really suck that much.

What's funny is most seem to believe trap should go down with a better hole shot. You've even said that. Now you think trap increases by 5 or 6 mph with a better hole shot and your bogus claim.

Is a tough pick but Id do the c7z. Just looks better, more exotic. Now a ZL1 1LE might be my pick over a c7z. Tough call for me.

You are a 5.ballicker first and foremost... lol

I've wanted a cyber gray metallic C6 Grand Sport since their release. That would probably be my first Corvette purchase.

Although I do like base targas and the c5s are getting dirt cheap as well.

Hate the fender stripes or whatever the eff those are on the c7z. Rest of it looks good. Also hate the fender stripes on the GS c6s

Still waiting for the fast list that shows all these bone stock pre 13 gt500s that did better than 11.5 @ 120+...
