At my gym, the car that I see the most up front in handicapped parking spots are corvettes. Take that however you will..

You've been talked out of a Z06.... here!

2017 Corvette Grand Sport!!

Mods put this thread where it belongs.... "other vehicles"

In the head to head same driver same track the Viper out ran the Z06. There is a lot of driver when it comes to speeds on a track so random youtube videos to me doesn't prove one is faster than the other. I've seen plenty of youtube videos of TT Z's eating up GTR's. Does that make all TT Z's faster, not always. **** I out ran a couple of 1st gen Z06's in my '67 mustang back in the day at the track. Not because it was faster, but because the driver hadn't gotten used to launching the car yet or when to shift for the best times.

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.

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

Hey you!!! I'm expecting a thorough review. Every conceivable detail. I only expect a comparison of the steering feel compared to the Z. Cuz obviously, there's no performance comparison and ummm....

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU SIR!!!*

Oh if you don't mind breaking down price and such during the deal? Thanks!!*
