Your Z won't eat a C7 Vett, trust me! In fact it won't even be close.

Why not just get a Hellcat? :yum:

ewwwww..yes it has 700hp but handles like dog sh!t and is ugly..I would rather have a c7 then the dodge.u

The only thing holding me back actually from buying a z actually is the performance just isn't there for the money.

Lol. Mustang??? With the most numb steering and seats that feel like your sitting on a lounge chair.
Camaro 1LE will rag tag mustang azz around the track.
The Z is for people that like being one with the machine. Mustang are for people who like sitting on a machine and feel nothing but forward movement... Quickly.

Z down on power? Lol. Only if you don't know how to manipulate the throttle. Ride with me... I guarantee you, you'll need a diaper. Lol.

Zoren 370 09-26-2014 05:37 AM

Lol that is freaking funny! Diapers? How about a puke bucket too?
You dont want to ruin your wonderful Z!

I think somebody will be schooled today by the Master! :icon17:
Come on before you ride with the master named unknown do this wax in, wax out wax in, wax out.

I think the Z looks prettier than the C7. I'm not all about what goes faster. Odds are, I'll never go that fast. I'm more about what I look good in. Personally I love the Z's lines way more than the C7. That the C7 is becoming more and more common to see, makes me less enthusiastic about it.

I could afford a C7 or GT-R if I stopped indulging in a few of my extra hobbies, but I don't like how those cars look compared to a Z. Plus I sorta like those extra hobbies.

Actually the Hellcat has really good numbers handling wise. If that's the only reason you don't like it I would do some more research...

I don't think I've read about any car more then the Hell Cat on this forum lol. It comes up in every thread I'm tagged in.

All mods aside, I mean pure stock off the showroom floor, if you figure $$$ per horsepower along with comparing handling, looks, snob factor, braking, gas mileage, etc. your going to find the Z at the higher end of each comparison. Now figure in the availability and costs of mods and the Z will be the winner. Sure, I'd like to have a Z06 Vette but it's a $100K gas hog that's no fun to drive legally.

ok so i'm late to the party but how can someone be a "vette lover" and not know that the newest vette is the C7?

fyi i'm not being a troll just confused is all.

So ... OP ... have you figured it out yet? We love our Z's.

You have just reached the break in point at 1200 miles. Have you really stretched it yet? Have you ever really stretched a Corvette? Are you interested in AutoX or Tracking? Both are performance cars. Late model Corvettes will go faster. Is that what you want? Are you going to use it? Most people on here have Z's because they look cool and have very good performance numbers. Is it the fastest car? NO. We don't care ... well some of us don't. Those who do mod the sh!t out of them with super/turbo chargers and then eat the Corvettes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Do you have that level of the mod bug?

Or ... dare I say it ... are you just :stirthepot:
Cuz if so, you were very successful at that and you should buy a Corvette.

Thanks to Ken Chan for quoting this, I had not yet seen this. I've put all your post together in my mind and it seems like the Z just isn't for you. You have brought up the car not having a good bang for the buck in 4 out of 6 of your post. I don't know what you factor in a sports car to achieve your bang for a buck ratios but I do believe the Z is one of the best cars for the buck. Sure, it's straight line speed isn't the best but where it lacks in one department it flourishes in others.

It's rare, quite fast, handles well, stops well, and it looks better then any car ok the road doing it IMO.

OP one of the first things you said..."I've been in love with the Vette"...go for it...I've known ppl who have owned Vetss for as long as I've been around and they don't smile as much as I do when I look at my Z and can't speak from experience but in time with all the fiber glass thngs beging to loosen up and the squeaks start. I turn off my radio and hear nothing but the engine which is music to my ears and yes I'm in love with my Z, just don't tell my wife :p
