It was more balanced/neutral in the turns on the Dragon where the Z would have a bit more understeer. Had much better brakes on the C7, though my Z only had base brakes. The magnetic ride suspension was fantastic on all the turns, elevation changes, and some of the rougher road surfaces. Didn't have any cooling issues like I did with the Z. All of this doesn't even take into account the glorious sound of the V8 roaring up the mountains with the Targa top off. Really hard to beat that.

It did take a little bit of time to adjust to the size of the C7 compared to the Z, but I got used to it in like a week. Once you get past that initial phase, it doesn't actually feel so big when you're hitting the back roads spiritedly. FYI I have a Z51 with the magnetic ride option. Had the same PSS tires on both cars, but obvioiusly in different sizes.

I don't know exactly where or how you drove a C7, but having owned both cars I would say you're absolutely wrong about the C7. I enjoy it more on backroads than I did the Z and it has no issues with tight backroads. I was able to open it up plenty on the dragon. It built so much more confidence in my driving that I consciously had to hold myself back because I was afraid to go any faster.

I think I need to learn and respect the car more as it's really a fast car and would demand a lot of driving skill to drive like a mad man at the dragon.
The corvette packs double the power of my Z with less the weight so go figure how the vett does when you drive it. It's a bullet with 4 wheels.

Longer wheelbase makes it less nimble as the Z. But once I get more driving time with my vette, I'm sure I'll be able to control this beast.

The C7 vette is certainly a different type of car, I love my 370 but the vette hits the sweet spot like a G spot. Ask a satisfied girl and you know what I mean.

Kudos.
