Ok I see it, If he does work himself.

I went to test drive one and ended hopping a new Z28 because he said that's more of a track car. I'll try to get to a Chevy dealer next week and try one. Have you? The Camaro wasn't as crazy as I thought. Turning and braking was incredible. I want a car that scares me again. Z feels normal to me.

1980s era Porsche 911 with 10lbs of boost?

Seriously, go for the Z06. I'm not a Corvette fan... or at least I wasn't until now.

C7 Z06 all day long.

YzGyz · 10-21-2016, 02:44 PM

C7 all day!! First off its new vs old so c7 wins. Easy vs hard to obtain = c7 wins. Trouble free for years vs trouble even before you start the build = c7. Looks sexy = yup, c7 looks. Better than Z imo. Design to lay globs of power down in the Twisties and straight vs only going Twisties and totally suck straight = c7 wins. Ohh there is plenty more but you get the idea. I love my Z but I'd trade it for a new c7 any day. Boosted z are cool and rare find but so is a z06/7.

Edit: I forgot to mention that a cam and exhaust v8 just sound nasty!! It always turns my head when I hear one rolling Cuz it sounds like the car is about to go eat a Prius !! Lol. So bad azz!

Short List

C7 warranty. LS 370z no warranty.
C7 new tech. 370z old tech.
C7 no millage on non-engine stuff. 370z has millage.
C7 suspension for track comes with it. 370z need to buy $2k+ coilovers and still aren't as good as the C7.
C7 new car smell.

Or buy a base 981 and swap in a 3.8 911S engine with warranty (Porsche gives core credit for 2.7L engines get $6k back). Mid Engine over everything.

For street use, C7 Z06 for sure. If you track every weekend, stay with 370z unless you are willing and able to deal with replacement parts costs. Tires and rotors alone will burn a hole in your pocket.
