I've had a DD and a play car for many decades (sometimes 2 play cars) and I pay less for all of them put together than some pay for a single new one. My buddy just bought a new loaded Denali pickup. It was hard for me to tell him it cost more than everything in my garage put together......... =)

The F82 is one of the top 3 cars I've ever had so I say this with full on respect but the C7Z changed my life... and I've still got plenty of time until a mid-life crisis. Already have a down payment on a C8Z06.
Put an Akra exhaust on it a few weeks ago... gives me ridiculous boners. |

Alexander Rossi let it slip on a podcast, expect the Z06 to basically be a C8.R minus the livery. This coming from a good friend who drives for Corvette Racing. High revving NA V8, very track focused.

C6R was pretty close to the C6 Z06, especially at the time but it still had some frame modifications, the later model used a 5.5L engine instead of the LS7, and the typical race mods that you can't expect on a production car. C7R was even closer to the C7 Z06, biggest difference was the engine remained a 5.5L due to regulations not allowing the LT4. Most of the other (excl. race mods) components were the exact same thing. This time around the C8 Z06 is going to be based on a ridiculously dominant first season for the C8R. Should be a nearly identical engine without a detune. Functional aero seems to be almost guaranteed - you can even see it on the clay models. |

Great move IMO. What other car on the planet comes anywhere close to the C8Z06 specs and bang for the buck ($) - except for the Ultima GTR - which doesn't count due to its impracticality for many.. Please post pics here when you take delivery. . .
