I have no loyalty to Chevy, and no longer have my boosted Z(I really do miss it), I loved the cars and still do, but I love everyone who bashing on the C7because you say its crap...the Z is nowhere near a perfectly engineered car and had and has many growing pains: just few to bring people back to earth:
Oil consumption on early models
CSCs
ECU whine
Steering locks
Fuel starvation
High oil temps
VLSD is TOTAL CRAP
ABS/brake inconsistency…


No car is perfect, but the C7 is a HELL of a deal, with the buyers discount you can get a z51 base in the high 50's...great well rounded sports car. Not to mention you can get superchargers INSTALLED AND TUNED for 5-6k...that puts you over 600whp. It is a better starting platform.

There are plenty of other issues floating around, read all the sections on the forum... no car is perfect... with that said I would not hesitate to buy another Z, but I am hoping Nissan lightens this beast up and adds a few more stock ponies...one can dream.
