Talk me out of a Z06 please

If you already own property and have your finances in order, I'd say get the Z06. It sounds like your z is a beast, but you will get bored of the Z06 and want something else later. There is only so much you can do with a car that hot on the street. I would do a c7 grand sport if I wanted something new or a used 911,lotus, gtr, audi R8, Aston Martin,viper or something less common over a Z06.

c7 grand sport is only 460hp? His nismo will eat it up. The z06 has 650hp why would he get bored?? Makes no sense.

That's a great looking car all the way around. Dodge certainly did their homework and made the right choices. Chevy, not so much...

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.
