This is the point I was trying to make. Let me put it this way GM is the only manufacture I've worked for at a large dealer that had 3 designated heavy duty techs (meaning engine r&r and rebuild all day long), 8 designated drivability/elec techs (myself included), 1 designated trans/driveline tech. And there was enough work to keep us all busy in that field (heavy duty even backed up for 3-4 weeks at a time). You simply will not see this is in a Japanese shop as most work is all 90% service and brakes (boring).

I know ford is similar to GM setup as is Chrysler but I would not buy one of those either.

Carbon ceramic brakes are like a 10k+ option on some cars. So the z06 is the best bang for your buck supercar.

For what it's worth, carbon ceramic brakes are a liability for the people who will really use them (on the track). It's not affordable to spend $8k on rotors every 10 track days, nevermind the performance doesn't justify it. If I had that option, first thing I'd do is take the calipers and rotors off, sell them, and replace with an AP Racing kit.

If you have the money, go for it.

I would stick with the Z since it's boosted so pretty fast and you're almost done paying it off. It feels great to have no car payment.If you had a ton of money and would just buy the z06 outright and have no worries about upkeep, I'd say go for that. BTW, you are probably getting a manual, but if not, the c7 auto transmissions overheat.

If you want real bang for the buck you cant go wrong with a C6 ZR1 like my 13 for sale,lol....638HP and rare to see... The Viper is > the C7 Z06 especially at the track when the Z06 overheats after 2 laps,lol..My 14 Viper...

I might end up going for the 2017 Grand Sport instead of the Z06. Maybe

The 2017 zo6 is getting a new cooling system to over come the heating problem of 5% of zo6 owners have been getting according to this link.
