C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

Z51 is as big of a necessity as a Sport package on the Z.

dry sump lubrication, added coolers, e-diff, MRC, bigger brakes, exterior kit. On the C7 it actually made the rear vents functional too.

I see Z51 as the true baseline, and without as a way to accommodate budget buyers.

Non MRC still pulled 1.01g on the skid

Z51 pulled 1.1g and grand sport 1.2g

The skid numbers are exactly the same for Camaro SS models which is ridiculously insane chevy treated the camaro so well with the SS The SS MRC and SS 1LE.

Those numbers are so good. Even the bargain basement vette is a top handler. You really cant go wrong. But as an enthusiast. I think the grand sport or its equivalent is the perfect C7 or possibly C8.

You're right but as an enthusiast myself? If it ain't a grand sport or better. Not worth it. GS puts that MRC to use with a real suspension kit that's even more stable on track. Wider tires improved aero the recorder standard dual mode exhaust etc...

So I guess we all have our standards.


As far as the vette and tuning...

2016 was the only tunable camaro. Now look. Every camaro year has like 4 tune options. So many companies lock out their ECU then a year later. The tune is out.
