I had the same thought process, but went even further. I have a perfectly good, better looking sports car than the Corvette, so I will just keep my Z and possibly go FI if I ever want to track it.

i'll agree to disagree but no way is the z a better performer than the c7. i like my z but you just can't compare the two honestly

idk about that.

a boosted Z with more HP than a Vette with same maybe even less weight.......could be pretty close.

could always find someone with each and do a test.

i didn't say boosted... i'm talking about a stock z and a stock c7... a boosted z should take care of regular c7 no questions asked lol.

that was the point being made in the post above yours hence my post.

stock for stock it's not even close. C7 will eat the Z lol 130 more HP and roughly the same weight. toss on the magnetic suspension too.

with bolt ons on our z they don't have that much more but still would beat us lol. i see them brand new for 49k and then slightly used with a couple thousand miles still 49k lol.. i was hoping there would be a used one for a lot less but i guess they aren't that old yet.

I wouldn't waste a penny on a non-Z51 C7 though.

My point being is that the Z is much better looking than a Corvette and they are both sports cars. I use my Z as a DD street car which I have fun driving every second. I guess if I wanted to spend $100K on a car I would go for the Z06, but to me I am not sure if it would be that much more fun. Around here Corvettes are a dime-a-dozen, mostly driven by old dudes; Zs on the other hand are rare and beautiful!

If I ever decided to track a car, I can just boost the performance of the Z and have all sorts of fun then. The best part is I can spend all that dough on the performance mods instead of getting into a more expensive car. It's going to get trashed anyway.

What would your plans be for a Corvette?
