Honestly I'm not sure yet. It's stupid fast and even though I haven't taken it above 3k rpm for break in period I can tell already it has traction issues due to power. I initially went in to order a ZL1 as I couldn't find any around here built the way I wanted it but they had this Z06 sitting there. I made a ridiculous offer and they took it. I've already told myself that if in 6 months it's proves too much car for me then I'll get the ZL1 like I initially stated. I got the car at such a steal that I'll barely lose any money doing so. And yes I know the ZL1 has the same motor but it seems more planted and stable. Maybe it's the extra 200lbs, I don't know. My ex who is still my friend bought her krypton ZL1 earlier this year so I've got to enjoy it quite a bit.

One thing I can say is that the suspension upgrade is amazing. Places on the street that used to upset the balance of my C6 grand sport are not even noticed with the C7. It just soaks up the road without issues. There are certain turns onto freeway onramps or streets that I would have to take slower than usual because as I accelerated out of it the car would want to go sideways due to dips and bends in the asphalt. But with the C7 you don't feel it and the car stays glued.
