Nah..besides the Viper will be discontinued next year or I think this is the last year. And the z06 has much more, carbon ceramic brembo brakes, carbon fiber roof and hood and a cool 7speed manual. Carbon ceramic brakes are like a 10k+ option on some cars. So the z06 is the best bang for your buck supercar.

So?.. That has no bearing on the car itself, whether that's true or not. It's still a better looking, better thought out car than any Vette.

It's not a better car when you factor in ALL of the constant issues that GM still haven't resolved.

For what it's worth, carbon ceramic brakes are a liability for the people who will really use them (on the track). It's not affordable to spend $8k on rotors every 10 track days, nevermind the performance doesn't justify it. If I had that option, first thing I'd do is take the calipers and rotors off, sell them, and replace with an AP Racing kit.

If you want real bang for the buck you cant go wrong with a C6 ZR1 like my 13 for sale,lol....638HP and rare to see... The Viper is > the C7 Z06 especially at the track when the Z06 overheats after 2 laps,lol..My 14 Viper...

He would get bored of a z06 because it will become his normal. It happens. There will be better and faster factory corvettes.

Of course, all you focus on is straight line performance. You know, the kind of stuff that DOESN'T matter because I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't drag race.

And I'm not going to waste my time sitting here arguing with you.

Roll your eyes all you want. It's still the same exact drivetrain. It's reliable. It doesn't burn up, blow up or leak. And it's still the better looking car.

Still base on the old v10 truck engine which sound like crap

Not sure if they improved longevity in the new zo6, but the passing conversations i've had with vette guys over the years makes me shy away from them. They talk about needing new piston rings and other engine component replacements between 50K and 100K miles. I hope it's not at common as they made it sound.

This is the point I was trying to make. Let me put it this way GM is the only manufacture I've worked for at a large dealer that had 3 designated heavy duty techs (meaning engine r&r and rebuild all day long), 8 designated drivability/elec techs (myself included), 1 designated trans/driveline tech. And there was enough work to keep us all busy in that field (heavy duty even backed up for 3-4 weeks at a time). You simply will not see this is in a Japanese shop as most work is all 90% service and brakes (boring).

I know ford is similar to GM setup as is Chrysler but I would not buy one of those either.
